HTC EVO. You have removable 32 GB MicroSD cards to record all the video you want, and change them out in a matter of seconds.

interesting, but if you wanna make a film, it’s ideal to use a camcorder. They make HD hi def version no bigger than a pack of cigarettes now. Editing is still better on a laptop or in my case a netbook.

Swordmaker..... Have you heard any reliable word on when/whether Apple is going to contract with Verizon?

I want an iPhone 4, but I would rather settle for a Droid X than change to at&t.

Soon, I hope, I've heard 2011 mentioned.

I'm not touching an iPhone, even to try it out, until they give me something other than AT&T. All I can get in this area is Verizon.

Ignoring for a moment the irrelevance of your comment to this thread (other than as a hijack attempt), is this the HTC EVO of which you speak?

Users Fume as Software Update Bricks Sprint EVO Phones ??

Try editing it in HD on the HTC EVO... especially after it was "bricked" by an over the air update today...

I used it today. The video was awesome. HOWEVER, the iphone4 has a huge problem and it constantly drops calls. My friend who showed it to me was really not happy and I don’t blame him.

Not a hijack attempt; according to Swordmaker posting completely irrelevant recommendations is fine, as long as what you post is truthful and accurate. I don't see how I'm doing anything wrong. His standard, I'm sure he's not upset or irritated in the slightest.

How many people have had their phones bricked? Perhaps it is very few. Is it as many as who have problems with antennas on their iPhone 4s?

That's pretty funny. Dumb as a box of rocks, but funny. I can't believe I watched the whole thing... :)

Apparently the "semi-official" rumor is that Verizon will be getting the iPhone 4 in January... at least, according to Bloomberg Press. I, however, think that it won't happen until five years expire in June... when the original five year exclusive Cingular/AT&T agreement should expire.

Yeah I kiinda did a facepalm myself for watching the whole thing..twice..

Nor was I -- I was just tweakin' ya a little. No harm intended.

No idea.

I'm waiting to see how Apple/Jobs corrects the iPhone antenna issue. Seems to me they're going to have to come up with an "improved" design that solves the problem, and soon.

I wonder, since the issue only happens when a bare hand touches the bare metal, whether coating the metal with something non-conductive would be a workaround? It wouldn't affect the radio waves one bit, but it would keep the skin from contacting metal. Seems like an easy fix...

I've had a rubber skin on my 3G since the day I bought it and wouldn't have one without it. Does nothing to limit the functionality and sure helps when you drop it like I have...more than once!

Yeah, I've got a low-end cheap LG/Verizon phone (VX5500 series) that I love, but it slid out of my shirt pocked and landed in the driveway once too often, so for $5 I bought it a nice custom-fitted condom that keeps it from sliding around so much.

I can't believe Apple didn't coat the metal in the first place. Probably an aesthetic consideration, and in this case, the aesthetics caused an awful lot of bad press and unhappy customers.
