You are amusing. So you are obviously not an Android fanboy given your name and you hate Apple too. Do you even like anyone?

You have also made it like your goal to go to war with all the Android fanboys, no small feat, considering how many of them there are here on Engadget.

Why do I care what consumer reports suggests? I have a device that works and works well, have no antenna issues, hundreds of quality apps, calls and texts fine, watch videos on it, read ebooks, use video chat, skype and facebook. iPhone 4 is pretty damn sweet as far as I'm concerned, happy with it. If I wasn't, would have returned along with the millions who did... oh, wait...

If you don't want one, that's fine, your choice to choose what you like. But frankly, you just sound like a broken record and jealous of others enjoying their devices when you can't get one. Are you stuck with a HTC HD2 or something? Or still on HP iPaq to date? Either case, don't take your frustrations out on trolling blogs, it changes nothing.

I'm happy with the iPhone 4, I'm sure loads others are. Equally loads happy with their Android phones. Great. To each their own. Grow up.]]>Aug 5th 2010 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/Aug 5th 2010 9:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/Aug 5th 2010 9:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/
But I don't have the antenna problem.. So what now? I don't even have a case on it, it's easier to slip into inside pocket of suit jacket at work without a case. Still works perfectly fine and never drops bars. What now? Should I return a perfectly working device, that I enjoy using, because someone somewhere is bitchy about it?]]>Aug 5th 2010 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/Aug 5th 2010 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/yeah, I think that is good enough, if want full featured or more effect, then buy it. OR just go to the free one.
There are many free and not bad apps online too, you can search it via Google. I always got some free apps for simple work or playing, well, some frees are really not bad, such as this list:

They didn't steal anything, go read the patent yourself, they were simply refering to their app as an example of the technology they wish to patent. Nothing to do with the app itself, it's a mere sample along with another Sudoku app and others.

Yes you do have an antenna issue. ALL iPhone 4s do. Let us take an iphone4 user who can replicate the bridging of the antenna defect on his iphone4. That person can and will be able to replicate that same issue with every iphone4 he can touch.

The iphone4 antenna issue is a hardware issue that exists on ALL iphones. Just because your body chemistry doesn't cause the signal to drop does not mean there isn't a hardware issue with your phone.

Here is a little something for you apple fanboys to ponder. If I wear a pair of gloves and grip the iphone to holy hell like those apple attenuation videos, I can and will produce the same results as all the other smartphones. BUT, if i take off my gloves and press my finger along a certain spot on an iphone4, i can cause a loss of signal. But I will fail to produce that result on ANY other smartphone.

Just because Steve Jobs is a whiny little bitch doesn't mean the majority of you iphone4 owners should follow suit.]]>Aug 5th 2010 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/Aug 6th 2010 1:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/Aug 6th 2010 2:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/Aug 6th 2010 4:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/apples-app-store-try-before-you-buy-section-isnt-exactly-wha/

From my point of view, the reasons both those great ideas will never be implemented is because we can all pretty much guarentee, someone out there will find a work around to crack the protection and hence enable devices to keep the app after 'returning' it for refund or after 24 hours. This would be a massive failure on Apple's part towards it's developers, not worth the risk nor cat and mouse game.
