my biggest disappointment with mine - and I'm not expecting DSLR qualities, is the Iphone 4 camera - certainly on mine - in most pictures bright areas are just completely blown out - dynamic range seems to be very very slight indeed - so even peoples faces can be blown out to some extent etc - not great

removed - going to find a better examp[le

A question for you iphone experts...i have a friend whos just bought the new iphone4...actually as an upgrade.

Anyhow he had the 3G before and bougth a few songs from itunes but when he tries and synchs his iphone to itunes..it says it cant find the song then asks him if he wants to re-buy them. So hes had to re-buy 2 of them...he has around 6 songs that he bought.

Surely he shouldnt have to re-buy these songs that he originally had does he??

If he deleted the songs from his PC, then yes.

glad its not just me then thanks

to be honest when the exposure is right or the shot is limited in range - its pretty good - but most of the time I get awfully blown out areas of the shot

they look so blown out it ruins the picture

Nope. They're store in the iTunes Music Library and it's the users responsibility to keep a copy/backup. If you lose it then Apple won't provide a re-download unless it's exceptional circumstances or the original download failed and is reported within a couple of days.

Maybe there is something wrong with it because in all honesty I haven't found another phone camera (that isn't a dedicated camera like the Satio for example) that can come close to this one.

Its VERY good.

Just going to get my iPhone 4. I don't really like bumpers to be honest. Is there any other way that I can resolve the antenna issue?

Yup iam with you on this one, I find my camera great

Another massive boost is using Camera+ and enabling the stutter release with the volume buttons :cool:

Also another point, with the MT to get a good battery life as mine doesnt seem great yet had it 2weeks do you have to close all of your current multi-tasking apps each time you dont need them?

It's a non-issue. I've not seen any sign of a signal problem with my iPhone 4.

For those who use iMovie. I know you can crop videos but is there anyway to cut various bits out of a video? I keep having to crop a certain part then export it. Really annoying. I'm shocked cutting isn't present in iMovie.

Does anyone know why the iPhone 4 handset price on Three is so cheap compared to O2? You can get a £30/month contract and get the handset for only £99!

I got it on launch day and did this like the day after. Then I went in the Apple store a week later to get a dock and the guy was all "Wow, you've got an iPhone4 already etc?" (because of all the stock problems) and then his face when I showed him the sellotape.... priceless!

First use it for a few days to see if you actually have any issue, I certainly don't have any problems with it at all.
