Daveee:
Those of us that actually own this phone are getting pretty bored of trying to explain to those that DON'T own this phone that the signal 'problem' doesn't even exist. This argument has already been done on numerous other threads here and is getting rather tedious now
Feel free to jump on the media bandwagon and tell me the phone I have successfully used in various locations around the country for the past few weeks doesn't work properly
Wait a minute, I didn't mention the signal problem anywhere and that is not what I was trying to convey. Perhaps my attempt at irony was a poor one. What I meant to say is that I find it strange that WHF can say that:
"The iPhone 4's a big step-on from the 3GS, so it's a giant leap ahead of the non-Apple competition"
Imo this statement implies two things:
- the 3GS is ahead of the current non-Apple competition
- the 4 is a big step up from the 3GS and therefore the 4 must be a huge leap ahead of non-Apple competition
I cannot see how a mag could possibly make such bold claims without even comparing both iPhones to recent competitors like the HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S. Those phones compare favorably to the iPhone 4 to everyone that has tested them (with all three phones having their own merits, with the iPhone 4, I concur, looking very nice as well).
Stating that the 4 is a giant leap ahead of the non-Apple competition without including the recent Android phones in the comparison is weird. Stating that the 3GS is better than those as well is just ridiculous. WHF is consistent though. There are only four phones that received 5 stars, all of them made by Apple. Even the completely outclassed iPhone 3G 8 GB retains it's 5 star rating to this day, by this reasoning even the 3G is ahead of current non-Apple competition...
