Any of you guys lefties? Apparently its more of a problem for left handed users due to where you place your hand when you hold it. Hell give your local apple store a call about it, maybe they will give you a free case for the phone, which is said to help the issue.

Im not a leftie, but I do always hold my phone with my left hand. Its only an issue for people who palm the phone. Personally, Ive always been in the habit of just using a few fingers to hold onto the phone, and no issues whatsoever.

Mine shipped today.
Honestly I don't ****** get it. You have 30 days to return the phone, no charge, no penalties. Buy it if you want one, if it doesn't work the way you want it to take it back. Buy an iphone 3gs, save yourself a few bucks and you'll be happy.
3 million phones in three weeks, you don't think verizon is shitting their pants? A lot of parties have a lot to gain from an apple failure.

Did you see the photos of the testing room? That **** was scary, what the **** is apple doing in there LOL
I thought the statistics in the press conference were pretty ******* stupid. Apple could have made up any numbers they wanted too, there's no way to check them.

Spent a great deal or time with an iPhone 4 today, right next to my 3gs and right next to a 3g, all 3 running 4.0.1. I cannot replicate the signal issue on this phone, no matter how I hold it, the signal stays the same. Furthermore, it continually has to 1 or 2 more bars than the 3gs.
I don't get my new phone until wednesday, but I set up some things on a friends iphone 4. The screen is beyond belief, the feel of the phone is significantly better. With the sloped back on the iphone 3 I would continually have it sliding out of my hand if it didn't have some kind of case that grips, the iphone 4 is much easier to hold on to as well. It's thinner and for whatever reason just seems sturdy. The home button and volume buttons also seem a lot sturdier, all in all it seems like a higher quality phone.
photos are great out of the iphone 4. I was pretty happy with the 3gs photos, but man the 5 mp camera on the 4 takes noticeably better photos.
I'll get to play with mine in real world conditions next week, but I did download a flashlight app that uses the LED flash and it was pretty cool.

The screen is beyond belief. I was completely blown away by the detail. Officially, the resolution is funer than the human eye can see, and I believe it. Even the smallest text or details in pics comes through clear as day.
The camera is phenomenal. I have a few friends who are photo majors at an art school, and I have gotten kudos from them on some of the shots taken with my phone.
Bottom line is the only people who hate the phone dont have one. Its a HUGE step up from even the 3gs

there was an art expo with only Iphone photos being displayed.. they had some very nice pics. The whole debacle is now being referred to as Antennagate! Oh yeah Mikey you gotta call them on the land line duh!! If you still have one of those, or borrow a verizon/sprint phone to make the call. And the rumors are out again about VZW getting the Iphone in 2011.. lol
