subject: The Amazing Iphone 4-new From Apple [print this page] The release of Apple's new iPhone 4 has proved to many that the handset is not merely just clever marketing, but a true heavyweight phone to challenge the likes of HTC and Samsung
For people who want their phone to browse the web, or for e mail usage, then the iPhone 4 certainly will not disappoint. The most satisfying online experience is achieved when using the phones Wireless LAN facilities, or WiFi as it is more commonly known. When in range of one of your personal networks the phone will automatically connect giving you quick browsing and super fast downloads. Home and work routers are the obvious places where you can connect to, but with an ever increasing number of cafes, bars and shops offering the facilities, the places where you can use WiFi is growing by the day. On the move options are still great thanks to the iPhone 4 offering quad band 850/900/1900/2100 HSPA/UMTS in addition to GSM and EDGE. Thanks to such features the phone supports things such as push e mail notification, giving you live updates on your inbox rather than relying on logging in to your account every time. The new e mail facility on the phone also offers a unified inbox, allowing you to link several different e mail accounts. Local connectivity is also well accounted for thanks to Bluetooth, where version 2.1 is on offer.
The first thing that strikes you when looking at the iPhone 4 is the obvious change in design of the handset. The famous curved edges and back panel have disappeared in favour of more straight lines and angles. The front and rear of the phone are constructed from two sheets of glass. This glass is not as delicate as it sounds thanks to having undergone a chemical treatment process to increase its durability and scratch resistance. It also makes the phone feel less plastic and gives it a more expensive, high end feel. The phones antennas are no longer hidden inside the phone, allowing Apple to reduce the depth to a tiny 9.3mm. A stylish looking metallic band that run all the way around the phone now performs this task, offering better reception into the bargain as well. A new secondary camera has also been installed on the front of the handset to allow the user to not only take self portraits, but more importantly to conduct the new "FaceTime" video calls.
The new iPhone 4 has certainly set the bar very high for other handsets to follow. As a package the phone is a near to complete as you will find, offering the perfect balance of functionality, looks and performance.
