iPhone 4 A Hit Despite Limitations

The iPhone 4 has been a big seller for Apple with most happy with the new hardware and functions.  Some complain the limitations with the video calls is not what they had expected but with AT&T seeming to struggle with data usage, it should not be much of a surprise.

The new iPhone seems to be a better business tool than the iPhone 3 models with some of its new options.  Will it give Blackberry more of a run for the money in the Enterprise market than past iPhones?  Time will tell but unless some of the data usage issues go away it may be limited.

New Details on the Recently Announced iPhone 4.0

Today, Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the company’s latest invention: the Apple iPhone 4.0.  This new smartphone is sure to blow the socks off the competition with its vast array of improved features.

If you thought the iPhone 3GS display was awesome, you’ll love the 4.0’s display even more.  Steve Jobs claims the 3.5 inch display screen is so sharp that it’s impossible to detect any pixilation.  In fact, the view is virtually indistinguishable from real life thanks to the 960×640 pixel resolution.  That’s better definition than what you’ll find flipping through magazine ads and text.  Measuring in at 10mm think, the iPhone 4.0 is slightly thinner than its predecessor.  Despite its compactness, the 4.0 actually weighs 3 grams more.

Perhaps the most noticeable new external feature of the iPhone 4.0 is its two cameras.  The main camera, located on the back, comes with a 5 megapixel count.  This is the same resolution as the iPhone 3GS, however, the 4.0 camera has greater sensitivity to light.  Consequently, you can take higher quality indoor and night pictures than was possible with previous versions of the iPhone.  Better yet, the LED flash works for both video and photographs.  The second camera is front-facing, making it ideal for video conferencing.

There are several internal features you’ll enjoy on the iPhone 4.0.  Running on Apple’s new iOS 4 software, this smartphone offers many improvements over its predecessors.  For example, the 4.0 allows for multitasking, which means you can run multiple apps at the same time.  Better reception, improved noise cancellation, near perfect gyroscope technology, and an extended battery life are other features to enjoy on the 4.0.

At this point you might be asking how much this industry leading smartphone costs and when you can buy one for yourself.  The answer is that the iPhone 4.0 will be released on June 24, and it can be yours for just $199.  To date, over 1 million units have been presold.  Find a complete selection of Apple iPhone 4 accessories at Discountcell.com

The Pros and Cons of Trading in Your iPhone for T-Mobile’s HTC HD2

T-Mobile is offering a great incentive for iPhone users to trade in their iPhones for HTC HD2 smartphones. As *Erika Morphy at E-Commerce Times explains, the trade-in credits range from $100 to $350 depending on the quality and generation of the iPhone. The promotion ends on May 19, 2010, and is certainly a tempting offer considering the HD2 is a better business phone as well as T-Mobile’s superior customer service reputation.

However, there is one major drawback to the HTC HD2 smartphone: it operates on the Windows Mobile 6.5 version. While the 6.5 is the best and most current Widows operating system, it will be replaced later this year by the Windows Phone 7. In her article, Morphy quotes Azita Arvani as saying, “Windows Phone 7… has no backward compatibility with the previous version of the operating system. So, people who buy Windows Mobile 6.5 devices now are basically buying a dead-end technology. And, guess what—there won’t be any developers adding any new applications. So, you are stuck with a limited app store with no new innovations.”

Needless to say, these facts may indicate that T-Mobile’s generous credit offer is nothing more than an opportunity for the company to unload its Windows Mobile 6.5 devices before they soon become unwanted and obsolete.  You can find a great selection of accessories for both phones at Discountcell.com
