The new iPhone 4 design have made this the thinnest smartphone ever
At 9.3mm. The front and back have been given a gorgeous glass finish that makes it feel like the poshest smartphone on the market too.The Retina display screen is perhaps the most noticeable improvement – the 960×640 pixel screen is the sharpest we've seen on a mobile. Some apps have already been updated to make use of the high-

Apple's beautiful new iPhone has finally arrived –

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
Far fewer dropped calls than AT&T versionNo Verizon crapwareIt's the iPhone 4
Data rates slower than AT&T modelHotspot interrupted by incoming callsPoor overseas roaming options
If you haven't caught the theme of this review, let us spell it out -- this is very much the iPhone 4 that people have come to know and love. It's not the next generation Apple device, it's not a wowee-zowee LTE experiment, and it isn't a revolution in mo...
Gorgeous high-resolution screen, Fast processor with lots of RAM, 5-megapixel camera takes great stills and good HD video, Longer battery life than previous iPhones, iOS 4 features, including multitasking, FaceTime, and Personal Hotspot
CDMA network doesn't support voice and data simultaneously, Glass front and back can be fragile, Not able to play back HD video to external display
It’s a better phone, period. More likely to pull a signal, even indoors — this could change the way we converse at bars. Hotspotting is wellintegrated and very easy to use. Has a whiter, slightly betterlooking display,
Slow data transfers compared to the AT&T iPhone. Sluggish app installs take away from the App Store’s instant gratification. Video streams are compressed more heavily, so Netflix and YouTube are uglier. No simultaneous voice and data transmissions thanks to the limitations of CDMA.
So where does all that leave us with? Well, it not all hunky-dory here and there exist issues that can jeopardize your idea of a perfect smartphone experience. Somewhat below-par call quality, sluggish surfing speed and defective multitasking features ...
Solid build quality; great camera; good battery life; slim for easy pocketing; simple and easy for new users to pick up and learn.
Very slick back; two slabs of glass versus one; larger capacity is a bit pricy at $300 on-contract; poor notification system.
After four years of waiting and relentless rumors, the Verizon iPhone doesn't fully live up to its hype. It is a very nice device that offers a consistent experience with very few hiccups and is great for smartphone newcomers and veterans alike. But ...
Abstract: Finally, we’ve got a level playing field for the iPhone and Droid to do battle. Verizon is set to unleash the iPhone 4 in early February and it couldn’t be better timing
Abstract: Garnished with the fact that it's been given the Google branding, the Nexus S could arguably be the flagship Android device out there with the determination to fend off the heated competition from the iPhone 4. Only fittingly, both the and aim to str...
