What i think might happen is, quietly, without telling anyone, apple will start shipping improved iphones with the antenna problem fixed to the stores. Since there won't be any drop calls and very less or no bars going down, people will stop complaining and thus goodwill of apple will be maintained. And then there are plenty of Apple fanboys they can rely on for word of mouth publicity  | |

| A friend of mine bought an iphone4, it doesn't seem to have any problem in the 2 weeks he's had it. I'm considering getting one myself, just not too sure because of the antenna issue. |

| Advice People planning to buy the Iphone 4 would be better of waiting till November 2010. On an average there are more people with reception problems than ones without. Why do you want to plunk so much money on a phone with known issues? Now dont start flaming. I am no techie but am sure a phone FREAK. Phones owned in the past: Motorola Startek Nokia 3300 MotoraZr V3 O2(bought 2nd hand Dubai) HTC Advantage also call Shift- My worst phone decision. It is now my paperweight(Expensive one, I bricked it) HTC Touch HTC Diamond HTC Touch Pro-My best phone before the Iphone LG Cookie Iphone 3G Now E72(Highly overrated)- Stopgap waiting for new Iphone |

| Senior - BHPian  | Hey iPhone guys, well you might be wondering what am I doing here ;-) . Actually one of my friend wants to buy an iPhone 4 in US and now I've given task to find out if a iphone 4 bought in US can be easily unlocked/jailbreaked to be used in India. Is it just an easy firmware upgrade or it needs some technical expertise? What will happen if there is a new firmware upgrade comes from Apple? Will it get locked again? Is there any drawback of using an unlocked phone other than the loss of warranty? |

| If you buy now, you will have to wait for unlock to come since it will already have latest firmware loaded. If you find a piece with older firmware you can unlock it. Process is simple and anybody with basic computer knowledge can manage it, but everytime apple launches a new firmware version one has to wait for developers to come out with JB and unlock. One always has the option to say NO to upgrade, so it will not automatically get locked, though if you accidentally click update then you will be stuck. Better buy a handset from UK, Hongkong or Singapore where officially unlocked handset is available. |

Waiting for my Otterbox to arrive. It is available for around $30 in eBay. By the way, new unlocked iPhone 4 can be bought from eBay India for Rs. 37,900. | |

Having used Otterbox before I purchased an OB Defender again for the IP4. It's the best but adds considerable bulk to the phone. I don't mind as the OB Defender is the best protective case one can get. I bought it at their website for $60..I stay away from ebay. I've been looking at Apple fanboy sites and Apple's as well. Apple doesn't seem to have released any 'new and improved' version of the iphone yet. Last edited by R2D2 : 4th October 2010 at 20:48. | |

Do you know that iPhone in the US come with a 2 year AT&T contract? Not worth the hassle of jaibreaks etc IMO. Just source it from other countries where they sell it unlocked/SIM Free. | |
