New iPhone 4

So, I had my iPhone preordered for the June 24th release date. I went in at 7:00 a.m. like I was told to and they told me mine wouldn't arrive until 3:00 p.m. Once I went in and got it and went through the activation and everything, I got to bring it home and play around with it.

The exterior design is pretty sexy, not gonna lie. It feels a lot more luxurious in your hands than the past models. It also feels like it would be a lot less easy to damage. However, these guys ran a drop test on it and the screen was shattered after 4 low drops. Not perfect, but still above average.

My favorite new feature of the iPhone 4 is by far FaceTime. It's Apple's version of streaming video-chat between two iPhone 4 users. I've only been able to try it on two different occasions so far, and it is limited to WiFi, but each time it felt like Apple was onto something. The program isn't flawless, but I'm excited to see what happens with it.

Multitasking is a welcomed feature to the new OS and iPhone 4. It's very easy to use on-the-fly and makes the phone much more productive. Definitely one of the biggest additions to the OS thus far.

I still have a lot more features to take advantage of, but so far it looks like I made a good purchase.
