Just do what I did and go to work for Apple, then you get free service.

Otherwise I doubt I would ever have an iphone, they're pretty expensive for what I do with it.

I don't have my iphone4 yet though, I was lazy and didn't sign up for a new one, then employees got put on 'low priority allocation', and now we can order but aren't getting delivery dates.

Really looking forward to the new camera. I use my phone camera 10x as much as my actual digital camera because the phone is always with me so having a bit more quality will really be appreciated.

It's really nice indeed. I really hate phone cases in general, because they all look fugly as hell, but that one is super nice.

Thanks for the link I have to have 1 of those cases! Not sure if I'm going to upgrade my older iPhone or not.

So after not pre-ordering and spending the last few weeks impatiently waiting on supply to catch up I finally have mine.

First thing I noticed is how amazing the new screen looks. Haven't had much time to mess with it today but I have tried, unsuccessfully, to replicate to signal drop hold. Could be the strong 3g service in my area, but so far have yet to see it drop below 4 bars.

Now I just have to order my Vapor case and I'll be set.

Not so sure about the Vapor now....still looks pretty good for the case, but a big no on the carbon fiber back.

Apple has fired the guy who is responsible for the iPhone 4.

The man who made the iPhone 4 is out

Two years after fighting in court to hire him, Apple has let IBM's Mark Papermaster go

It was one of the most contentious hires Apple (AAPL) ever made.

In November 2008, Steve Jobs hired Mark Papermaster, IBM's (IBM) top microprocessor executive, to replace Tony Fadell as head of the iPod and iPhone division. IBM promptly filed a complaint in federal court to prevent Papermaster from leaving, arguing that he possessed highly confidential IBM trade secrets. The dispute -- which made headlines for weeks -- wasn't settled until the following January in a deal that required Papermaster to wait until the following April to join Apple.

Sixteen months later, Papermaster is out, replaced as head of the iPhone division by the man who originally recruited him, Bob Mansfield.

The news was reported by the New York Times and confirmed by Steve Dowling, head of Apple PR.

Papermaster, Dowling told the Times, "is leaving the company and Bob Mansfield, senior vice president of Macintosh hardware engineering, is assuming his responsibilities."

Papermaster's sudden departure immediately set off speculation that it was somehow related to the iPhone 4's widely publicized antenna problems. Given that he was the head of the division that produced the phone, it's a conclusion that's hard to avoid.
