Detailed review
Apple has done it again with the iPhone 4. This beautiful piece of hardware is probably the best smart phone out there with its amazing retina display and now fully mature iOS 4, with its app store ecosyst. Being what some might call a Microsoft fanboy, I nonetheless have to admit that when it comes to devices Apple knows what it's doing.

Oh - and antenna-gate? I had problems with my old 3G when at home, with the signal being so weak that I sometimes were out of a connection. With the iPhone 4 - no problem at all. Yes - by squeezing it hard in the death grip I have been able to reproduce the loss of a signal bar - but no dropt calls or loss of wireless data traffic.
