TOTAL USER RATINGS: 4
PROS: I like pretty much everything about this phone.
CONS: The only con I have is that it isn't the most comfortable phone to make calls on. But I'd say making calls only makes up about 5% of the time I use the phone so that's no big deal.
PROS: Small slick and thin. Tons of apps to choose from. free cover for the antenna. it looks cool. comes with a 16gb card fits in my pocket. has a nice small screen. takes good pictures. Hi-def video 30fps
CONS: it has a couple physical flaws. The antenna is the biggest flaw. who would want a phone that cant make calls or drops calls. requires software to encrypt your confidential e-mails from work... which costs money. Apple's closed, strict market and ridiculous polices gives these phones and their other products a lot of limitations. Apple needs to reinvent themselves and loosen up a bit. Requires jail breaking if you really want to do a lot more and add better features. The iphone 3GS is better than this one. At&t's network and customer service sucks. no 4g with at&t.... not Yet at least.
PROS: Easy to use, helps getting organized and consolidating your online interactions, has tons of awesome apps, the interface just makes plenty of sense, great media player
CONS: The WORST cellphone reception Ive EVER had in a phone, EVER. Ive had cellphones since the end of the 90's and this is by far the worst reception, I live 6miles from the 5th largest city in the us so there is no excuse there. The phone with its all glass coating is VERY SLIPPERY. It will not sit on your lap nor the couch without finding its way to the crack between the couch pillows or worse yet the floor. I bought two of these, one for me one for my lady. Within one day of just keeping it in my pocket the screen had little scratches on it (no keys or change in pocket), her's slipped out of her purse and fell about 2 ft onto the back of the phone. The back remained fine but the front looked like it was hit with a sledgehammer! If the cell reception was great I would say just get a REALLY BEEFY case and call this the best phone ever, but reception is HORRIBLE ACROSS THE BOARD AND MAP..just ask any business iphone 4 user about the reception. "Does it drop calls?" and get the truth yourself.
OVERALL SCORE:6/10
