Rating
Hand placement can disrupt mobile signals
Glass front and back could prove overly fragil
Not able to play back HD video to external display.
Antenna issues
Some iOS 5 features are missing
No expandable storage
Reception issue in left hand
High price
No home screen widgets
No social networking integration
Still no card slot
Apps need updating
Autocorrect text annoying
Battery life still not great
Evolution rather than revolution
You're still given virtually no control over your photos – no quality choice
No ISO selection
Which is a shame. Similarly
Video eschews any advanced controls.Apple is still not willing to give the user as much freedom as
Say
Android users.There have also been reported antenna issues
But Apple may soon be releasing a software update to address these.
ITunes integration is still sluggish
FaceTime is WiFi only
And HD video chomps through memory
Not as customisable as the likes of Android smartphones
Multitasking sees some apps pausing rather than running in the background.
Reception drops when you hold it in a certain way (reception display issue?)
FaceTime can only be used over WiFi and with other iPhone 4 users

Stunning Retina Display, Solid design & construction, Better calling quality, Good battery life
Basically a 7month old model, Domestic use only, No Flash Player 10.1 support

The newest version of the iPhone 4 is slightly improved because of its antenna design, and you're going to love the connection strength and reliability. If you've been hankering for an iPhone but have refused to go with AT&T -- and don't want to wait fo...
Beautiful ultrahighres screen. Thousands of apps. WiFi hotspot mode,
No 4G. Needs a bumper for best reception.
Both Verizon and AT&T make the iPhone available on standard smartphone service plans. AT&T's plans are less expensive for light data users, while Verizon's make more sense for heavy users. Both carriers have three tiers of voice plans: 450 minutes for ...
A solid re-release of the most impressive iPhone yet, combining museum-quality design with industry-leading display and camera hardware, video calling software, and third-party applications that are rarely matched by rival devices. Developed primarily
Designed for Verizon’s large but slow CDMA wireless network, resulting in markedly reduced data speeds in some areas, and always preventing cellular data services from being used while calls are incoming or in progress. Lack of SIM card slot and GSM s

The Verizon iPhone 4 offers a hot-spot feature not available on AT&T's device. Performance was better in most regards
The Verizon iPhone 4 lacks world roaming and the ability to access voice and data simultaneously. The hot-spot feature didn't work with all devices
The Verizon iPhone 4 has much in common with its AT&T counterpart, but varying features and different performance give it enough room to stand apart. It won't vastly change your iPhone experience, but we welcome the consumer choice that it brings.
Abstract: The iPhone 4 on Verizon Wireless delivers the reliable data and voice coverage AT&T has failed to provide, making this device a dependable partner for work and play.
A device is only as good as its weakest link, and for many iPhone users that link has been AT&T. Although there are plenty of satisfied users getting the best from their iPhones on the GSM network, there are others for whom the iOS experience has been...
