I’ll give you a bit of history about myself. I’m an early adopter – my first PDA was a Palm m505 back in 2001 and I’ve used Pocket PCs, Blackberry and Windows Mobile smartphone but never one with an Apple OS.
I was determined to let the iPhone 4 be my first induction into the world of Apple and all that it has to offer so during the Maxis iPhone 4 launch, I got one and tested it out.
The iPhone 4 uses a microSIM, which is a bit of a hassle considering I have two Maxis devices. I switched to a microSIM for the review and used a microSIM adapter but in the long run I think I’ll get another SIM from Maxis.
I saw someone getting his Hotlink SIM card cut into a microSIM at the Maxis Center. You can probably do it yourself but Maxis has the proper tool to get it down to size.
That’s one option if you don’t want to go for a microSIM swap.
The first thing I did when I got everything up and running is to download iTunes and do an upgrade to iOS 4.1. It has a whole host of features ranging from a new HDR photography setting to video uploads straight to YouTube. I was surprised at the ease of a core upgrade – it’s just a click away. This review is done using an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.1.
Anyway, I have heard much about the HD video recording and camera capabilities of the iPhone 4 and it didn’t let me down. You can tap the screen to focus when taking photos and videos.
Here’s a video taken using the iPhone 4:
I like the crisp video recording and the easy to use camera (which boasts 5 MP with LED flash). It’s also easy to use and great for the times when you don’t want to lug out another digicam. All the photos in this post are taken using the iPhone 4 except for screengrabs and the ones which features the iPhone 4 in it (obviously).
There is also a geotagging feature which is very nifty for us but I imagine it’s not something members of Al-Qaeda would appreciate very much.
You can opt to turn it off though.
The iPhone 4 also has Retina Display which truly showcases the high resolution 3.5″ screen. It’s not just anti-aliasing but a true testimony to the rich and crisp display. You can zoom in to photos, games and eBooks and everything will still look awesome!
I don’t need it that much considering I’m not lacking in eyesight but it’s a useful feature to have when someone sends you a photo in an email with a high resolution photo of their friend and you want to…er, take a closer look, shall we say, at her features. π
The other feature I really liked which is lacking in all the other smartphones I’ve used is the auto WiFi detect feature.
The application that impressed me the most is FaceTime. I would even go so far as to call it the “killer app” of the iPhone 4. You know how the Blackberry has BBM? Well, this is like a souped up BBM that goes way beyond text and into the realm of real time video calls!
FaceTime only requires WiFi to work so you won’t have to go on roaming when you’re out of the country (unlike BBM). If you’re travelling and you have a work related call or just want to show your friends the place you’re at, use FaceTime! It’s free!
The iPhone 4 has two cameras like most video call enabled smartphones. However, what differentiates FaceTime is that you can instantly switch from the front camera to the back one with a tap of the screen to show the person you’re calling where you are. It sounds like a no brainer but it totally blew me away!
I’m a newbie to the iPhone as I mentioned and what (pleasantly) surprised me is the ease of which you can purchase applications and books. There is no need to muck around and sync stuff or manually enter your payment details. Your credit card details are stored securely via iTunes and you can just tap and purchase on your iPhone 4!
I know this sounds kinda jakun but hey, it’s my first iPhone okay! :p
It is also rather dangerous for me since I’m quite the impulsive shopper. I just tap and buy and the next thing I know I’ve got more apps than I need and a morbid fear of my credit card statement.
However, most of the essential applications are free so just grab those and you’ll be ready to go! Twitter, Facebook, foursquare, Messenger and more is just a quick download away so you’ll be able to communicate with your friends whenever, wherever.
I like how some of the applications have more features on the iPhone 4 compared to other smartphones.
YouTube works very well on the iPhone 4 due to the high resolution screen and I didn’t have any of the so called antenna issues while making calls so it’s all good to me!
I love the games they have on the iPhone 4 too! =D
It is a device that looks good (hey, it’s an important factor for some people). The sleek and slim design is aesthetically pleasing and you’ll be tempted to put your iPhone 4 on the table just to get admiring stares from people. *

The iPhone 4 is the epitome of Apple’s philosophy – a user friendly phone that packs a lot of technological features bundled into a sleek and sexy device. I’ve been using it since I got it at the Maxis launch and I’m lovin’ it! π
now i want one toooooooooooo =(
Hows the battery life?
audrey’s phone number is on the video… i think u have to delete it quick…
can i poke a hole in my iphone3gs and have FaceTime as well? LOL!

HB, almost everyday someone lost a Iphone in the subway station and People sell it on Craiglist for over a 100.00 or more. Workers find all kind of stuff. Like laptop, ipod wallets ect.
Karen Mayer: Get one! I love FaceTime…and Angry Birds. Haha! π
LeiF: The battery life is bad like all Apple products. I have to use a USB cable to last me the day with the iPhone 4 – recharge at work. Otherwise I have no complains. π
reader: Eh, I put annotations dy. Can you still see the number?
OMG Aud’s legions of fans will start calling her. T_T
Dylan: Heh! Unfortunately not, you’ll need an iPhone 4 for FaceTime. π
aud: OMG! I fixed it dy and showed you. π
Fixing now!11111111111111
Sorry Aud!
Michael (MIke): Yeah, the iPhone 4 is very popular since stocks are limited. I hear people selling it for 3k in a local forum. :S
al: I had a hard time switching from BB with tactile feedback to another Windows Mobile phone but with the iPhone 4 it’s very intuitive. No problems with the touch screen keyboard.
It’s very good compared to the other smartphones. π
Just don’t forget you have to bring a USB charger, the legendary battery life of the iPhone is true. π

Well, I have to wait till I get back to KL. ;D
Michelle Chin: See you then! π
hey man, how much would I have to shell out for an iPhone?
Haha welcome to the club dude.. I doubt I can ever go back to using a Nokia ever again!
rocket: It depends on the plan you sign up for bro. You can head over to Maxis to check it out. π
steph: Heh! I never thought I’ll be an iPhone user as well but I’m loving it. π
sweeet, loving how sharp the display is! how’s the screen hold up under glare, all good when using it outdoors in daylight?
hi!Iphone 4 have some awesome features there!Cool Iphone 4!Tim have lots of facial profucts in his room xD
dogbone: Yeah, and the iPhone 4 packs more pixels that it can display which is where Retina Display comes in – you can zoom in and view sharp and crisp text and pictures.
Works fine outdoors too coz the screen is VERY bright. π
Chloe Lian: Yup, it’s a very nifty phone! I’m glad I got it. The Maxis iPhone 4 deals are very good too and you can use it as a modem. π
Haha! I believe that is Audrey’s. π

There are plenty of iphone photography apps for the built-in iphone camera, but what about apps for photographers?

Apple is possibly still having difficulties supplying cell phones to everybody that wants the black one. It likely makes more sense to fill out those orders and move into processing the white when purchasing slows as some people will likely “upgrade” from their black iPhone4 to the white one. Also they most likely want to steer clear of the hardware difficulties people complained about with the first phone (antennae, brittle glass, etc ).
This is the kind of blog I would like to have.

Great read, thanks for taking the time to put it together.
Great job here. I really enjoyed what you had to say. Keep going because you definitely bring a new voice to this subject. Not many people would say what youve said and still make it interesting. Well, at least Im interested. Cant wait to see more of this from you.
Sometimes I just think that people write and dont really have much to say. Not so here. You definitely have something to say and you say it with style, my man! You sure do have an interesting way of drawing people in, what with your videos and your words. Youve got quite a one-two punch for a blog!
What I dont understand is how youre not even more popular than you are now. Youre just so intelligent. You know so much about this subject, made me think about it from so many different angles. Its like people arent interested unless it has something to do with Lady Gaga! Your stuffs great. Keep it up!
Good post, however only some of the points were actually treated really good, I think digging deep for the topic to make it more informative will really help, will be looking forward for more informative post than this. Will suggest some points which are to the best of my knowledge. This might help you bringing more information for all of us.
nice information its usefulness and significance is overwhelming the way you covered all the basic necessary information is really impressive good work
Moving and powerful! Youve certainly got a way of reaching people that I havent seen very often. If most people wrote about this subject with the eloquence that you just did, Im sure people would do much more than just read, theyd act. Great stuff here. Please keep it up.
Hi, iβve been keeping with your writing for a long time, although never ever commented anything before. Thought Iβd post something. I found the content you wrote quite useful. There initially were two or three things which wernβt completely clear, however all around, the post is great β not you need me personally suggesting exactly what you realize, ; ). Anyway, thanks!
The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
Youre not the average blog writer, man. You definitely have something powerful to add to the web. Your design is so strong that you could almost get away with being a bad writer, but youre even awesome at expressing what you have to say. Such a great blog. Ill be back for more.

I left internet marketing a variety years ago soon after almost 10 years of successes and failures. Whenever I see one thing as pervasive as the Trump Network on the Twitter Timeline, i’m woke up to all things that made me happy to leave that universe behind.
You’re my hero! I’ve been hunting almost all week for something similar to this to use in a short article I am writing.
Wow, this is very interesting to read. Have you ever considered submitting articles to magazines?
Needless to say, I purchase into hype, and failed eventually when the company close down. Most of my then teammates misplaced hope in MLM, and shouted MLM is Rip-Off everywhere, in forums, in blogs, in newspapers…etc. However, one of my teammates showed me a motion picture and explains to me the full mannequin of MLM, and how it works.
If SE was smart (and had a heart) they’d make this thing for every carrier. Take over Android, get buzz in the handheld arena again and take on Apple in a big way – don’t give this to AT&T and call it a day. I know SE hates CDMA but make it for Verizon and AT&T at the least, and Verizon, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile if you’re serious about this thing making an impact. It’s gorgeous and this is very exciting. The choice of touchpads instead of analog sticks is interesting. It could work, but odd since we know they are capable of thin nubs for sliders (Go).
You are a very bright individual!

The necessary variation being there is not any product or actual company within the pyramid scheme. These rip-off artists request for a sign-up fee, usually of a substantial amount, for the βopportunityβ to recruit others to sign-up as well. They recruit recruiters but into what?

The put up could be about the way to enquire individuals for company (a necessity for any enterprise on or offline). Or maybe you may be impressed by an strange MLM statistic or even a joke about MLM (they’ve received plenty about lawyers, why not MLMers?). Whatsoever evokes you, write about it.
