<\/a>as can be seen in the photo I took with the rear facing camera.<\/p>\nToday was iPhone 4 day!\u00a0 Yesterday for some very lucky folks.\u00a0 Yes it is a great phone, and a big upgrade compared to my old 3G.\u00a0 So there were a few upgrades for me that other people have already experienced with 3GS like the compass and voice control.\u00a0 Finally multitasking, I knew what I was giving up when switched from Palm Treo all those years ago, but I did miss listening to the radio or Pandora in the background while I checked my email or surfed the web.<\/p>\n
The display is truly crisp.\u00a0 You can see the difference with the images and text.\u00a0 I plan on testing some of my apps to see if upgrading the images is worth while.\u00a0 I was so impressed with the 3G display, but now that I have used the Retina Display the 3G is not so great anymore.\u00a0 It is amazing how quickly we become used to superior quality.<\/p>\n
The phone is nice and fast, so responsive, I used my 3G quite a bit for small tasks and think that the new found speed is going to result in me using the iPhone 4 even more.<\/p>\n
Having multitasking again is great.\u00a0 If I remember correctly on the Treo you had to hold down a button to get back the home screen if you wanted to keep an app in the background.\u00a0 I seem to remember that I had to consciously make the decision.\u00a0 On the iPhone 4 all the apps are put into the background automatically, which I don’t really like as I now have to consciously remove them.\u00a0 Maybe I will forget what is running in the background and let the system handle it.<\/p>\n
Facetime is great, I tried it and it worked well so long as you do not pan too quickly.\u00a0 Being able to switch between the front and back facing cameras is a fantastic addition, especially when you are trying to take a picture of yourself and friends.\u00a0 The flash is a another nice addition.\u00a0 I noticed that you can make the flash stay on when you do a video shoot.\u00a0 No doubt someone will make a better flashlight app.<\/p>\n
I had been reading that people had been having problems with the signal strength based on the way you hold the phone.\u00a0 I am a lefty and this has not been and issue for me, my hands are usually quite dry so that could be a possible reason.<\/p>\n
I took a couple of shots with the camera.\u00a0 It works pretty well, but I find that images can easily become over exposed <\/a>as can be seen in the photo I took with the rear facing camera.<\/p>\n
