in another note the android os 2.2 was released before the ios 4 , so all in all its about who's releasing stuff before the other one

picking the release date , quality , hardware , software , updates , stability , applications , games , ipod , i guess and everyone can say this apple is going to be the ultimate when it comes to phone industry :/

Its a great smartphone. Especially the high resolution screen and the HD video recording.

The only bummer for me is the microSIM implementation. I guess with careful cutting and trimming, one can make a regular card into a microSIM....

You're comparing this iPhone 4 to the Nokia N97?????

Come on man, there is a huge difference between the 2:

iPhone 4                N97
Quadband HSPA     Triband HSPA
138g                     150g
Capacitive screen   resistive screen
960x640                360x640

And the list goes on and on..... Huge difference in specs and features between the 2. And personally, the Symbian OS works like crap when it comes to touchscreen phones. The iOS4 outshines it by miles.....

You can buy the kit for 3$... But the engineer that will use this kit won't be doing his job for free ;)

I'm amazed by the design. It'll be a great success for sure.

I don't know, I just don't like it. Okay so the specs are upgraded, but it's still the same iPhone OS. It is starting to bore me.

Aren't you getting bored of all the operating systems then? not much of them have a rate of change higher than that of iOS.

most probably accelerometers , unless they incorporated some type of super tiny piezoelectric gyros ! :O
Edit : seems both are also available ! , i wonder what types of apps might use a gyro , weird .

No not really. I tried Android and I like it, simply because I can flash ROMs to it, do whatever /I/ want with it. OS4 is a great improvement for the iPhone, doesn't mean it's that perfect amazing OS. I like the iPhone, I just wasn't that amazed by iPhone 4.
And if you're thinking I hate Apple, you're wrong. I plan on getting a mac.
