Which do you prefer and why?
I'm going to get one or the other but my only fear of the iPhone 4 is dropping it, it's too fragile regardless of what Apple say, that glass is SO easily breakable!
P.s. Does anyone know if it's better to buy from the Apple store or the network provider shop (e.g. O2, Orange)???
If you get the 3GS don't get the OS4 update cus it cripples them apparently.
iPhone 4, if you're scared of dropping it, get an good case for it?
Well at the end of the day, the iPhone 4 has just been a mega failure. I think i might just play it safe with a 3GS.
Don't bother with the iPhone 4, it's not THAT much better.
HTC Desire is a fantastic Android rival to the iPhone 4, minus the front facing camera and resolution. Also in a custom ROM they've recently managed to get 720p video at 25fps working fantastically.
What he said really, but if it's specifically between the iPhone 3GS and 4, then probably the 4 and with a case so it's protected when you drop it. Wait until the autumn though, when they've hopefully fixed the hardware/build error on the phone regarding signal loss, as it isn't a software update and they're recalling and refunding people at the moment :)Quote:

You know what I mean, you can return it without hassle over a certain time (up until September I think?) :P They seem to be bordering on calling it a recall for the bad ones that really do not work, but being a bit quiet about it :P
iPhone 4 every time, it's more durable than you may think (I've dropped mines a few times and it's fine) plus Apple are giving away cases free with it. iPhone 4's retina display is beautiful aswell, makes the screen on my gf's 3GS look horrible and pixelated. Camera with flash is amazing, it's just a brilliant device tbh. Signal issue can be resolved by placing the phone down for like 5 seconds. Only problem is with the proximity sensor but it's nothing major, the rest of the phone outweighs what's wrong with it. Best phone I've ever had, easily.
Certainly don't buy a Blackberry because they're garbage. And so are Android phones.
Yeah that is why Android is getting very popular isn't it, because they are garbage. :rolleyes: :PQuote:

Get your facts right.
A very biased opinion there. Unless you've ever owned both an blackberry and android within the past few months I dont think you can come to that conclusion. Though if your an apple fanboy then its understandable why you think that :)Quote:

I love the high res screen on the iPhone 4.
Shame it doesn't support flash, if it did I'd be tempted.
It has to be said that the retina display is stunning, when you compare it to the 3GS you wonder why you never thought the display was so bad then. It's actually pretty amazing how clear and detailed screens on portable devices such as the iPhone now are. Also something I have wondered with the iPhone 4; if they say it is so clear that even our eyes are not good enough to fully appreciate the amazing detail of retina display then how can they really improve it as increasing the pixel density would surely be pointless if even we can't see all the pixels now. Anyone know more about that?
