*** The all new iPhone 4 thread - Keep all iPhone 4 stuff in here ***

Which screen protectors are everyone buying? I don't want a case on mine, just an invisible shield of some sort possibly covering the front and back.

Anyone ordered anything yet? I want it before I get the phone, it's going straight on!

I am eager to get my hands on a white one, hoping its under £500 on PAYG! The 32GB one...

May go off a bit off-the-current-topic here, but i don't think the iPhone needs any sort of protection, at least on the front of the screen. Maybe on the old models for the back, but the iPhone 4 has the same glass back which is used on the screen on the current, but even more improved - which is fantastic at staying scratch free.

I have had my iPhone 3GS for a year and my screen doesn't have any scratches on the front of it, and that is with pretty poor handling on my part. The back is scratched up pretty bad, but the front is extremely good for that sort of stuff.

The only problem is of course fingerprints, but that is a problem solved by a quick wipe on your shirt.

Aha, did you have to take anything in, or just go in an query about it, and they just gave you a new boxed one?

Just take the handset in, nothing else needed. They will just replace the handset so you wot get a box or anything. Make sure you book and appointment.

Just went in to my booked genius appointment and that was it.

I made sure to do a full sync first though to copy everything into iTunes, and once they'd said they would replace it and had one in stock I set my iPhone erasing all data & settings. The replacement comes out of a brown cardboard box, and is just the handset. I'd put money on them being refurbs instead of brand new.... but I haven't noticed any difference from when my iPhone was new so being a refurb is no biggie.

The Genius I had was training, so he had to ask what the procedure was noting that it was a manufacturing problem rather than misuse, so another Genius pointed him at a particular KB article.

Err, you're on a rolling 30 day contract. That means they can change your contract every 30 days if they want to. You've not committed to them, so why should they give you any added benefit?

The only way anyone will keep unlimited data is if they're already on a fixed 12, 18 or 24 month contract and it will just expire at the end of that, unless they change their minds in the following months.


I dont really see the issue with the data cap, the only people complaining will be those who are too stingy to buy broadband and are tethering their laptops to their mobiles. As far as I'm concerned, if you're doing that, you can go jump, as you're probably slowing the network down for me and everyone else. I also checked my useage, and I've only used 600mb since I got the phone 6 months ago and would say I'm probably a fairly average user, so it's not even going to be close to being an issue. 0.1% of users using 36% of the throughput is ridiculous and should rightly be stopped.

Guy at Milton K's store told me it was a refurb when I had mine exchanged twice but it is like new, wouldn't know the difference :)
 
I've sold my camera, iPod, phone, guitar pedal and still selling my other guitar pedal....

All in a futile attempt to fund an iPhone4..

I've nothing else to sell!! Apart from a guitar.. and I can't bring myself to do that :)

No.
This is not, and has never been, how mobile contracts work. In exactly the same way as they no longer offer the particular iPhone simplicity tariff that I am on, and yet I remain on that tariff.

Its a rolling 30 day contract. If they want to change your contract at the end of the next 30 days, they will. Whether you take it up or not would be up to you.

I admit they might not remove unlimited data from said contracts, but if they want to they can and it sounds like they're planning on cracking down.
