Just setup company email on one for one of our engineers, from my brief usage of the device, its snappy, beyond that i am biased against the iOS because i just dont like using it. also let us all hope the iPhone 5 screen is larger because holding that thing compared to my phone its just too small.

I just got mine this morning, and the difference between the iPhone 4 and 4S really is striking. For starters: Siri is amazing. Beyond that, they fixed the "death grip" issue entirely, the phone is much snappier, and data seems a lot quicker to download with HSDPA+. Also, the camera really is as good as they say it is.

Oh, don’t say things like that, Elliott. At least not before the contract on my iPhone 3GS expires…

Mine hasn't arrived yet. I'm seriously jealous :p

Current phone size is perfect for me, don't want to carry a brick around.

How are non-US'ers getting on with Siri....not at all, reports are saying,

Seems like the Brits are being understood just fine. Not sure about the Aussies.

Elliott, I believe you killed a few people in the waiting line at the Apple Store to get your phone so early. Now, you need to ask Siri "Where can I hide a body?". Apparently, it has a few suggestions for you ?

:laugh: I had it delivered.

Sold a heap today, most customers seemed underwhelmed but wanted it anyway. A few even asked what it was when we asked which model they wanted

That's actually pretty typical. Very few people actually go into a store and go "I want a Samsung Galaxy SII" or "I want a 32GB white iPad 2 with 3G". That's why the retail stores exist. :p

First of all i have been wanting to buy iPhone 4s no big deal about prices for 64 Gig but i have seen few Videos 1080p Samples on You tube and unfortunately i am extremely disappointed by the video quality if compared to Samsung Galaxy S2.

Got my company iPhone 4s today...seems weird compared to my Evo 3D. There is so much more room that the screen could use but doesnt which makes it feel even smaller. What's on the screen is nice though; nice and vivid. It has been really annoying though... tried to download the first app and had to go through many prompts and enter in my login information a couple times and then finally it started the download :p Not what I would consider a first time user friendly setup (I have an old apple id from a 3GS I had for a short period). After that things seemed fine... until.... wifi dropped out.

Unfortunately there are a lot of WiFi networks near me, but I was sitting 5ft from two of my wireless routers (one N only, one G only). The iPhone could no longer see either. I refreshed the list of networks and only 6 showed (normally I see around 10-15 different networks). I refreshed again...3 showed. Refreshed again... 2 showed. Not sure what the deal was, but they were all slowly disappearing! I rebooted the iPhone, no go, same issue. I also tried disabling wifi, going in and out of airplane mode...still nothing. I finally gave up on that and decided to plug it into my computer to grab a few more apps. Plugged it in... iTunes errored saying something about a pairing error. A reboot later and then it worked. Sometime between then and another hour or two the WiFi kicked in and started working again (I can also again see the large collection of networks near me).

I also tried setting up iCloud on it and it just kept spitting back an error about my account not being able to be verified (this was after I already had finally grabbed some apps from both the phone directly and via iTunes). Eventually something kicked out a email verification email which then told me to again log in to the same account on the phone.

Overall in Day 1 I am mildly annoyed with it. It is worlds better than the BlackBerry it is replacing, however :p

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
    • Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
    • Wow, 50% increase for the base model. That's steep!
    • A group made up of dozens of cybersecurity experts, including several well-known veterans of the industry, published an open letter to the U.S. government asking it to lift the export control order on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models. According to the open letter, “this action has taken the best models away from [cybersecurity] defenders” who now can’t use the models to find vulnerabilities and make their software and products more secure. “To pull the best capabilities away from defenders without a good reason when our adversaries are rapidly advancing is dangerous,” read the letter. On Friday, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to limit the export of Fable and Mythos, citing national security concerns, without explaining the specific reasons behind the order, according to Anthropic. In response, the company suspended access to the models to all users worldwide.     https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/15/cybersecurity-vets-protest-dangerous-us-government-ban-on-anthropics-most-powerful-models/
