Original iPhone Better than iPhone 4?

I have been using the very original iPhone for years, and upgraded to the iPhone 4 as soon as I could. The day I switched phones I lost all coverage inside my office. I now have the new bumper from Apple, but it's still not even close to the awesome coverage of the original. Any ideas on better bumpers to get or a way to solve this?

Try switching 3G off and using Edge connection. Since you were using the original iPhone, you were on Edge only and saw that better coverage.
The minute you switch to iPhone 4, you started using 3G. Your office may not have good 3G coverage there and better coverage on Edge.

Original iPhone plus 2.0 better deal than 3G?

After upgrading my software to 2.0 on my original iPhone, my delight with Apple is even greater than before - excellent App Store, great little tweaks to the previous user interface, plus push (well Ok, only half a push now) etc etc. Altogether I now have a great smartphone.
So why do I need 3g? Naturally it will be faster than Edge, but not enough to make a difference to my life - I do most of my web surfing and email on wifi and, if I have to use Edge it works fine overall (I can wait a few more seconds per page - no big deal). And do I really need GPS? I have car navigation software on a Tomtom already and the existing map and location service seems to meet most of my non-driving requirements.
I am sure the 3g is great and would recommend iPhone to all - but I have saved some cash and hassle by not upgrading from original to 3g - thanks to the excellent 2.0. Hopefully there will be further software upgrades later which will also apply to the original iPhone.
Better to wait till next year's model before upgrading the hardware, perhaps? Am I missing something?

I take that as a compliment. Set 'em up, Joe - mine's a whisky mac...

Is the iPhone 5c better than the 4 or 4s?

My son dropped his iPhone several times, so we are looking to replace it. The 5c in green is his choice. Is this iPhone better than or the same as the 4/s generation? He does not need a super phone, he does a lot of texting and some game apps, as well as things like dictionary apps. Yes, he does call sometimes. Any comparisons would be helpful in choosing his next iPhone.

The 4 and 4S are discontinued. The 5c is essentially the original 5 in a plastic housing. Yes, it's better.

I don't understand what you are asking here. Can you try and ask again?

Is the reception of iPhone 5c better than 5s.

Was advised at a Telstra store that the reception of the iPhone 5s was worse than that of the 5c. Am thinking of upgrading from 4s.
Has anyone experienced this?

Not sure about the 5C but the 5S is hugely worse than the 4S for data. And tethering is a dead loss in poor signal areas where it would work reliably with the 4S.
However it's not that simple - the 5S voice call performance seems BETTER than the 4S. I did a 45 minute call yesterday during a drive through several known blackspots where my 4S and indeed other non-Apple phones reliably drop the call, and not only did the 5S maintain the call but I didn't even have any dropped audio at all.
But despite the audio being solid I couldn't get ANY data out of it at all - and yes it was on 3G so should have been able to do voice and data simultaneously.
So my guess is a serious bug in the firmware or baseband around data handling rather than inherently poorer hardware in the 5S. Or at least that's what I hope as one wouldn't expect a newer phone to be worse than the previous model especially after the bizarre mess of the iPhone 4 and antennagate!

Is the iPhone 5 better than the Samsung Galaxy S4/Lumia 1020?

Is the iPhone 5 better than the Samsung Galaxy S4/Lumia 1020?

Like almost everything in this world is a matter of choice, but, if it is to logically make a choice here are a few criteria you should consider before picking up a smartphone:
Do you really need it? - if not, the money will stay better in your account;
Set up the budget and consider the fact that smartphones get upgrades faster than computers and laptops, will you be able to upgrade?
Which operating system are you familiar with?
What are your needs and expectations from the smartphone?
What type of person you are (email/chat/SMS/Social Media-man aka. communications, multimedia, productivity, gamer, etc.) this will help you chose the appropriate hardware and check out what are your options regarding the existing applications for your needs;
Are you always on the run or work in an office? - this will help you decide from the battery life point of view;
If you own a tablet you might just need a simple smartphone.
Samsung does not really innovate in terms of functionality and usability, they only copy what others do and make it their own way. Android is not a mature operating system, yet. I like some of its features, of course, but I can rely on it when it comes to productivity as I'm a person who sends 100's of emails per day and need to easily manage the messages.
You can have the best hardware in the world but that's useless if you operating system is bad at managing those resources, you will not be able to exploit the device to the fullest and you might cry over the money you've spent :-) Nevertheless Samsung has a large market share, makes good phones, but not quite smart, they are rather... intelligent, a smartphone is smart from the day you buy it, you don't have to put it in training mode :-)
As about Lumia, I don't have much to say, it's what iPhone had at the iPhone 4 version minus the 40MP camera and the operating system. If I want a good camera then I buy a camera, a Canon or Nikon :-) Yes, the Krait CPU, so what? That CPU is managed by a Wi*dows OS and that should say everything. I'm not against Micr*soft, they had/have their part in technology progress, but I'm more into stable operating systems, I'd chose Android over Wi*dows, yet Nokia were always great at hardware and batery life. Bad choice for Nokia, look at their sales and you will understand.
That's just my two cents, but iPhone is the choice of millions when they chose their first smartphone: is user friendly, solid, great hardware specs, lovely screen, wonderful support, high-level security, multimedia at its best, a design that catches the eye, looks and feels great in your hand, it's light, you have millions of verified apps in the store and a nice community to tell you all these :-)

HT4623 This really ***** that they sent out and update to the iPhone ISO6 and I can't send or receive pics! Being that its apple you would think they would know better than to send out a bad update like this! I'm paying for a service and I can even use it

This really ***** that they sent out and update to the iPhone ISO6 and I can't send or receive pics! Being that its apple you would think they would know better than to send out a bad update like this! I'm paying for a service and I can even use now!!! I'm very upset! Think about canceling my iPhone 5 order! This is terrible!

Wahhhhhhhhhh! Wahhhhhhhhhh!
Are you over your little tantrum now? Do you want help you would like to continue to act like a toddler?
If you want help, try telling us what happens when trying to send pics. Any errors?
If you want to whine... go somewhere else.

Iphone "better" than any Nokia?

Well, it is not an easy subject since there are many "religious" Nokia fans on this forum. The information I will give is objective, and based on my experienced with both brands. First of all, the simplity of Iphones compared to symbian and windows mobile (is also a HTC user), are like 2 different worlds. In USA, Africa and other contries, the inhabitants are analphabets. Iphone is genious since it only have 1 button (the on/ plus volume is extra). it has extremely self explained symbols on the screen. That make it easy to use both for ordinary analphabets, but also for "technical" analphabets. The second is that you easely can change many language and tastateur input. If you choose chinese you can also chose to "draw" the chinese letters on the screen!!!
Symbian and windows mobile are to difficult to use. I see other places in this forum that the discussion is about if Iphone is a smartphone or not! What a waste of time! I also have a N97 that stopped to work after one week. The display got extremely hot (almost fire). The tastateur can be used, but N97 is badly constructed! I can not get acess to all symbols on the tastateur, I need to have the display. So, is Nokia still your favourite?

Iphone "better" than any Nokia? ur title really took me off, Its really a big bold statement u get fascinated towards a mobile phone which is good in "technical" analphabets" not technically good
Iphone is Locked towards a Single provider who doesn't allow the Phone to tether with the computer and not allows u to send a MMS, well Iphone got the Features finally i am talking about but how to explore it real Bummer
People say Jailbreak ur Iphone u will come to know what it is capable of doing, last thing i want to do after buying a costly "wood" is to Jailbreak it to know what it can offer to me another Bummer
Ur daughter's Nokia mobile was soaped for 45 mins after which u took it and opened it cleaned and made it to run again first u will void ur cell phone's warranty and can u do the same to ur Iphone

N97 is badly constructed, there are lot of N97 buyers who purchased for it solid,Robust design and found it to be great there was not even a single complaint that the Build quality was not Satisfying or clunky
Sorry for ur display becoming Hot could be a hardware defect which neeeds to be checked and inspected in a Nokia care center or u can ask for a replacement
Rest of what an iphone cannot do for a basic user who wants his mobile to do such basic things was justified by Grschinon very well
At last YES Nokia is my favourite for lot of reasons

I've read a lot of comments/suggestions about camera issues that it turns black when opening the phone camera but nothing is worked for me. I'm so frustrate on my iPhone 5s im using it like for a month, I thought its more better than Samsung but I failed.

I would have had the phone looked at long before a month of problems.
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. You phone is under warranty and someone at an Apple store can help you.

C7 camera - better than iphone?

I find my C7 camera rather nice, better than the reviews so say.

I think it takes excellent photos myself.
Regarding the iphone no idea about the quality of camera.People have their own opinions of quality too.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

Lumia 920 better than iPhone 5

Looks like Nokia should have waited until after the iPhone 5 was released to announce the 920, would have made the 920 look a whole lot better than it already is!

Excerpt from SIG:
"The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has officially announced the release of Bluetooth Core Specification 4.0, or rather, revealed the adoption of Bluetooth low energy wireless technology for 4.0. The SIG said that the new specs will open an entirely new market that requires low cost and low power connectivity. Now a small, "coin-cell" battery can power Bluetooth devices, ideal for healthcare, security, home entertainment, and other markets.
The formal announcement stated that v4.0 will feature ultra-low peak, average and idle mode power consumption. The technology also features an enhanced range, multi-vendor interoperability, low cost, and the ability to run "for years" on standard coin-cell batteries. The specs also say that the technology supports small data packets transferred at 1 Mbps, 24 bit CRC on all packets, and even provides full AES-128 encryption.
"With today’s announcement the race is on for product designers to be the first to market," said Michael Foley, Ph.D., executive director, Bluetooth SIG. "Bluetooth low energy modules for all sorts of new products may now be qualified – this is an important step towards our goal of enabling new markets with Bluetooth wireless technology. For example, the Continua Health Alliance has already selected Bluetooth low energy technology as a transport for the next version of its guidelines."
The SIG said that the new specs will come in two flavors: dual-mode and single-mode. In dual-mode, Bluetooth low energy functionality is integrated into an existing Classic Bluetooth controller. The single-mode version, ideal for highly integrated and compact devices, uses a lightweight link layer for ultra low power idle mode operation."
Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

Battery gets low as soon as I use my incredible. Verizon worker said this is better than iphone

my incredible's battery goes low as soon as I start using it. Verizon tech said this was better than an i phone.

I may have corrected the problem. It took several starts of iTunes, each time navigating to my podcasts and right clicking on 2-3 and unsubscribing from them before it went to 25%, became unresponsive, and required shut down from the task manager.
As soon as they were all unsub'd, iTunes went silent on CPU usage. The APSDaemon.exe shot up to 25%, but a reboot and a restart has everything quiet. I've accessed the store, played some songs, downloaded one. So far, so good.
I'll be back here to report any change.
