I'm waiting for it to be available with 4G, whether it's on AT&T or Verizon.
Verizon will not get the iPhone till they become a world wide company, and that will never happen. Verizon does have phonees that take the sim card but they don't work in many places around the world. They will also have to change every tower they have to support such a phone. Worldwide over 60 million iPhones have been sold and only 13 million droid phone. That alone says something.

Does popularity really make "right" or "best"? I think your logic alone says something.

Lets compare Civics to Ferraris, if you don't get the point.

iphone4 = 960x640 = 614400 pixels

thats 2/3rds the size of 720p which sounds like apples typical false advertising.
Pretty sure the specs said 720p video recording, not 720p display.

What sucks is that despite having higher resolution and ability to grab 720p video iphone4 still limit component video output to 576p/480p.

Are we missing the topic here. It's funny how people gets so defensive bragging their phone is better than others. It's preference guys whatever makes you happy and proud to spend your money on. That's what it's all about y'all.

Btw I'm getting the new iPhone 4

04caliwrx, don't you work for AT&T? i think that requires somewhat of a disclaimer/disclosure. not trying to hate, just pointing out that all of our biases come from somewhere and it's nice for the reader to know that.

<-- apple user/shareholder.

Yes I do, but I have nothing to do with the cell phone side of the company. I'm on the wire line side of things.

Sorry I don't because they phone cost the same price, $199 (and that after a $100 rebate on most phones) so they can be a civic or a Ferrari how ever you take it Numbers don't lie, the iphone has been out one year longer then the Droid market and has sold over 40 million more devices. You make it sound like I have something against the Droid market, I don't! They make great phones for every cell phone company in the word and have a great open source market (something the iPhone lacks). none the less the iPhone has sold more and has way more users.

If you get the point...
