Well, this is ironic. Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone 4, the smartphone that Consumer Reports says it can’t recommend, is also the one ranked highest in its latest ratings. The device scored 76 out of 100 points–two points ahead of its closest rivals, the iPhone 3Gs and the HTC Evo 4G (click on image above to enlarge).
The product evaluation agency rated the iPhone 4 “Excellent” in its display, navigation, Web browsing, multimedia and battery life categories, “Very Good” in phoning and messaging and “Good” in voice quality.
In short, the iPhone 4 is hands-down the best smartphone available today, but Consumer Reports advises against buying it.
IRONY... Defined!!
This is beyond funny.
Isn’t this the same organization that actually rigged tests to claim that the Suzuki Samuri would roll over easily? They have yet to regain my trust after getting busted in that one (and this isn’t the only time CR’s integrity has been called into question).
So how does this affect their review of the iPhone 4? You all be the judge.
How many places have 4G coverage? There are zero within a couple hundred miles of where I live. 3G is just now starting to spread out...
Hard to put a lot of faith in an article about Apple that includes the use of phrases like “Mac freaks”...
I’m just teasing you - I love to fire up Apple people. Take care.

Not fired up at all, just trying to inject a bit of sense into the discussion. I guess in some cases it’s a lost cause... ;-)
Talk about juvenile...
