well as far at sale wise, apple is at 24% and htc phones are 23.2% so phones that run android are not far behind at all, at&t is going to shit after the iphone goes to verizon, i still thing that htc phones are much better then iphone's and i been an iphone user since day one.

The only reason why anyone would ever stick to ATT for the iPhones is because of the multitasking (being on the net while on the phone). That's all..

The wait is over!!!!!
From what I hear it is the next generation of the iphone. AT&T's network really limited the phones capability.

I can do that now with my iPhone and I don't have ATT

Well that seems like a valid statistical poll. I'm sure it's an accurate random sampling to come to the conclusion you did. [Roll Eyes]

This is bad news for AT&T. Their lack of willingness to correct the coverage issue hurt them for sure. I work for Verizon (transmission engineer) and we've been doing infrastructure upgrades like crazy for the last 2 years. I can tell you, we should be ready for the AT&T defectors.

We'll just have to wait and see the impact on the Droids [Smile]

The thing that Android has over iPhone is Android is an operating system and is on several different phones from several different manufacturers. The iPhone is just a single device. You don't get a lot of choice with the iPhone. The fact you can buy an Android phone with a keyboard is a big thing to a lot of people (it was for me). Plus the open source nature of Android is attractive to a lot of people too.

Time will tell. If you don't have Apple stock now, you better buy it, cause they're gonna make a killing once this phone drops for sure.

I cant wait to see how many idiots fork over 600+ bucks to switch from one iphone 4 to another.

Dont forget about all the users who have grandfathered data plans and wont want to get rid of their unlimited data plan.

Yeah it is nice to have unlimited data. My iPhone4 is jailbroken. I just plug it in to my computer and use it's for my Internet connection. Can't beat that. I used over 4000 mb of data a month.

Gotta watch out for "unlimited data" plans. They really are not unlimited and set at a 5gb cap. They say that 5gb is unlimited because it's sufficient for email, browsing, etc.

There are guys on the tech forums that have plans from years ago and fought to keep their truly unlimited data plans and 7-7 peak/offpeak plans.

Not to stand up for ATT but Verizon will never get the true test that ATT had to endure when the IPhone took off. I don't think they realized how many people would want the phone itself and didn't know how much data would be used. I've personally never been so glued to a device that I'm constantly using it's data portion of the phone. Now that Verizon will get the iPhone I don't think they willl have the same impact cause ATT will have most of the iPhone users.

Verizon has a better voice coverage but from what I read ATT has better data speeds. I'm not sure about you but I use the phone mainly for Internet and texting. I rarely do calls anymore like the old days. Most of my contacting is through email/texting and a lot of web surfing.

Here are the official details of the Verizon IPhone launch.
http://mobile.macrumors.com/
quote:
Apple and Verizon announced the Verizon-compatible iPhone today. The new iPhone 4 is functionally identical to the existing AT&T/GSM iPhone 4, but has been made CDMA compatible to run on Verizon's network. It seems there have been some antenna changes to the design with an additional antenna break in the casing.

The new antenna design was leaked in an early video that was later removed by Apple. The new design has moved the antenna break position from the top to the sides of the device. The change may simply be to accommodate CDMA's different communication frequency rather than address the antenna issue from the original design.

The iPhone 4 for Verizion will begin preorders on February 3rd with availability starting on February 10th. The 16GB model will cost $199.99 and the 32GB model $299.99 with two year contract.

In a surprise move, Verizon is allowing the iPhone 4 to be a mobile Mi-Fi device that can share its 3G connection to up to 5 Wi-Fi enabled devices. This means your laptop can share your iPhone's 3G internet connection when a regular connection is not available. However, as a CDMA device, you won't be able to use your 3G internet connection and Voice at the same time.

it actually works very well! surfing the net is pretty damn fast. just as fast as the phone its self. I use the app mywi 4.0 on cydia. the apps is 20 bucks. but that is its. i even had to get a new phone and rejailbreak. i got the app back no issues. though sometimes i swear this app messes with my signal.

Mywi doesn't give you free data, it allows you to connect to other internet devices so that you can stream your Iphonees data through them. That's why it's best to have unlimited data on your plan if you plan on using Mywi.

I have my iPhone 4 jail broken and use MyWiFi app, it works great. I can watch Netflix, Hulu, Youtube with little to no problems with buffering and with at least two bars of 3g I can play COD 4 or COD Black Ops with little lag. I love it, if I didn't have other people in my house using internet, I would do away with Comcast. As others have said though, you need to have unlimited data plan.

I cant get my ps3 to regonize the iPhone signal. How did you get it to work? And yes I have unlimited data.
 
Posted by rgtrahn (Member # 7133) on :
 
I've been playing on my xbox, but I have some buddies at work who have the same problem with their PS3. I've heard you have to connect your iPhone to a computer through a USB cable and then connect your PS3 to your computer with an Ethernet wire; after that, you should be good to go... At least in theory! I only wish AT&T had a better signal for data, but it still works.

Ok I think I read the samething. But an other buddie said it would be to slow. But that was theory.

the internet through it works great, I have a jailbroken iphone 3gs for work and I run mywi on it, it creates a wifi hotspot that you connect to like any other wifi, or you can use usb for a direct connection.

it feels like a typical home DSL connection to me, 1-2mbps downstream, 300-800kbps upstream, ~130ms pings at best, so web browsing / email is perfectly fine.

it cooks the battery though.
