Thank you Stephen for a most enjoyable review.

iPhone 4 launched in Australia on 30th July and my daughter and I were 9th and 10th in the Optus queue of several hundred. By the next day there was a four week wait for the iPhone 4.

The Retina display is incredible. The presentation on the Keynote address and the website doesn’t do justice to the clarity of the screens, images and text; you Want to use this phone.

All of the added features are amazing.

While I loved the curved back of the iPhone 3G/3GS, there is a beautiful feel to the sleek lines and gloss of the iPhone 4 .

With regard to the Antenna, I am using the iPhone 4 without a bumper and have NOT experienced any antenna issues or increased call drop-outs.

The antenna problem only occurs if your finger is over the small dark line at the bottom left side of the phone’s casing and is resolved by using a bumper.

Great review, Stephen! If only they weren’t so bally expensive I’d have one of every model (just for good measure).

(Not meant as an insult – just a funny video about iPhone4.)

I was thinking about an iPhone, but heard a report yesterday on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) that the 4 has an antenna problem, which at the moment can only be “solved” with a small piece of duct(gaffer) tape. Hopefully it’s a software and not a hardware problem.

Duct tape … never leave home without it
