So expensive!
25 for all 6 would be ok, but 25 a piece? Come on...

You need to pay £25 to fix reception issues?
Only Apple could pull off something like this; to sell a phone with a design fault and then force their costumers to pay to have it fixed...

That saves them having to recall the 1.7 million already sold

That's a lot of money to pay for what is essentially a large coloured rubber band.
No doubt cheaper non oem versions will become available.

Having some sort of metallic antenna around the phone that the hand can touch is asking for reception issues. What happens if you touch a radios antenna? It interferes with it

Yes or you could opt for the just as good but much cheaper alternative for around £2 delivered from

I agree, they're rediculously expensive for what they are
no one is suggesting anyone pay any money to fix reception issues. Indeed I only get a reception issue when I actually try to reproduce it based on videos I've seen on youtube! In real usage I don't see any issue and in fact have been impressed at how much better reception I get compared to the 3gs, for example in my high-rise office. Indeed many forums are now saying its pretty much a non issue for most. I also recall the iPad had a quote "serious wifi issue" when it came out but that also turned out to be blown out of proportion by the anti-Apple establishment
everyone just needs to take a chill pill, or as I prefer to call it.. an anti-hysteria pill!... (especially those posting here who haven't even experienced the new iphone in real-world usage), and lets see how this really pans out.... People just love jumping on the anti-anything-succesful bandwagon!
btw, I'm no Apple fan... I still can't get into ipods and still dislike my mac, though it serves a purpose for iphone app development. But I know how the iphone has changed my expectations and satisfaction compared to buying new phones every couple of months for the 15 years or so prior because I got bored of everything else so quickly as they didn't fulfill my needs
The iPhone 4 is compact compared to 3gs, and is smaller than the Desire which I also have and have been using daily in order to get an appreciation (unlike others here who seem to just make comments based on what they have read elsewhere!). While the Desire is the closest device I have had that gives me thoughts about changing from iPhone, once again the point that other manufacturers are failing to take on is the ease of loading content into the device... i.e. iTunes. I've tried the Android equivalents that try to achieve this but its still not a patch on what iTunes delivers. Mind you, its good to see developers producing the same popular apps for Android that are available for iPhone, though some of my iPhone favs are still not available on Android (yet)
@Bonovox... you're saying "No" based on having used both iphone 4 and desire extensively enough to make a fair comparison?
