New iPhone review …
By kmaccarthy on July 18th, 2010Terry Sullivan owns the RE/MAX franchise where I work and is a gear freak like me. He already got a new iPhone. Here’s his review:
I have had my new iPhone 4G for a week and I am totally pleased. Updating from my prior model took about 40 minutes – time will depend on how much data is on your old phone – I had 22 GB of data. Did I have any antenna issue – no. I buy my phones with a case and all worked normally. I suggest the iFrogz.com Luxe Lean style of case.
My impressions:
- Good battery life (battery ran all day for me)
- Screen is amazingly sharp and great for reading, videos and games
- I took photos and movies and the results were very good and very sharp (there are two cameras, front and rear and you can easily change the selected camera with a tap ). The auto focus/ brightness control function works very well by tapping a spot on the screen to focus on, and the colors were vibrant.
- The LED flash is very bright and works for both photos and video for night shooting and fill flash to remove shadows if near subject (within 10 feet)
- Video chat over wi-fi (called Face Time) with other iPhone 4 users is amazing
- Multi-Tasking (switching between apps) was very fast and works great
- The new iPhone’s OS and chip set make phone operate very quickly.
- Integration with Mobile Me (cloud computing service which auto updates any linked phones and computers) for contacts, email, calendars worked great
- I can easily access stored data on my Mobile Me’s iDisk (cloud storage space).
Tips:
- You can use your iPhone as a flashlight in a pinch: switch to Camera app, select movie mode, turn on flash – LED light stays on and is quite bright.
- You can store multiple apps by groups in a folder by simply holding down any app (all apps shake) and drag one app on top of another app.
Thanks Terry.
