Just paired my iPhone 4

Zero fuss and it sounds so much better than my old 3G. I waited five hours to get my phone on the day of launch. Never again...!

LOL the iphone 4. So I was one of the many that waited for a few hours on the launch day and got mine early on the same day. I was impressed with all the bells and whistle and unimpressed by the phone feature itself. After some thinking, I ended up returning it last night and going back to my 3GS with hopes that they will fix it through a release and then I would pick one up. The lack of reception or so called the death grip is terrible for anyone looking to use the phone as a phone rather than a toy. my $0.02

After reading other posts about the iPhone 4 not fitting into the snap in crade of the phone prep kit, I ordered a dock connector extension for the phone. In this way I can plug in one end to the cradle dock connector and the other end into the phone, saving $150.00 for a new cradle. I don't have the phone yet, but Apple says that it will ship on July 14th. I simply refuse to stand in a line for the phone. The plus is that my present 3GS fits perfectly into the cradle and routes everything through the car including the bumper antenna which helps with AT&T's notorious reception.

Can't decide if I want to get that or stick with the tried and true Blackberry. I've had almost no problems with my BB in 2.5 years. But man does the Android OS make BB look dated.

Hahaha awesome!... just not 100% sure about the touch-screen. I like that I can basically send a text from my BB without looking at the screen while typing.

The iPhone 4 reception issue seems like a very simple fix, I wish people would stop complaining so much about it.

I personally will be sticking with the 3Gs I have as I don't have need for a 5mp camera or Facetime, and my phone running OS 4.0 does pretty much everything else just as well!

I also paired my iPhone 4. Worked the first time, and I haven't seen any issues using it for a few days.

Pretty much every phone now has speakerphone ability; iPhone and Evo included. Or you could get a Bluetooth headset and just use that.

Here's a pic of the Evo.

danlouz, if you use the speakerphone in that way I would not think the iPhone was good for you. All of the speakerphones on my iPhones have been subpar compared to my other phones (Samsung blade, BB). I have a hard time hearing and it doesn't seem much louder than without it. This was noticed even with jailbreak and the volume cap taken off.

I just tried the dock extension cable in the car. It fits into the dock connector in the phone prep kit and all functions on the phone work. It's a 3GS now but the 4 will be here next Thursday. Saved myself $150.00 for the new cradle when BMW makes it available.
