I am a brand new iPhone convert… just got the iPhone 4 almost a month ago. I have had the SIM card problem too, intermittently at first and then increasing to several times a day. Eventually none of the “quick fixes” solved the problem, so I went to the “genius”(ha!) bar. They acted as if they were seeing this problem a lot, but weren’t very forthcoming with information. They just replaced the phone. Three days later, and I just got the “no SIM” message again. I am frustrated. And it sounds like having AT&T replace the SIM card may not be the solution either. Have you had any luck getting it fixed??

I haven’t had any of the proximity sensor, antenna, reception or sim card issues (I probably just jinxed myself). And coming from an old 3G model, I’ve enjoyed the camera’s improvements. But, then again, I’ve always enjoyed the challenge of iPhone photography as a sort of creative pastime. I think the cool thing about iPhone photography as a medium is that it levels the playing field from an equipment standpoint, allowing photographic talent, skill and creative perspective to shine through. Now, as for the AT&T customer service issues, it’s quite safe to say I share that frustration Good review, overall.

I jailbroke my 3GS and it seems that my multitasking works better. I am able to hold the home key to background ANY app then doubleclick to view all backgrounded apps. I also have an app that lets my iPhone perform as a MiFi. I didn’t know that the phone had the capability (I thought it would require a hardware upgrade) but it works wonderfully. Also through the MiFi app I can tether through USB or Bluetooth if I prefer, but it’s just as easy to use the wireless. Also unless I change my service plan I am still getting unlimited data for $30 a month instead of the tiered plan that is even more expensive if you pay to tether. Thanks for reconfirming my decision to stay with my jailbroken 3GS!
