iPhone 4: To Buy or Not to Buy?

The much-hyped and the much-awaited iPhone 4 is here with a hell lot of features and also with a lot of criticism.

While the gadgets freaks can't resist its charm, the list of its critics is also growing.

When the iPhone was first launched in 2007, it easily outsmarted all its rivals. But now, as The Telegraph says, “The handset is a triumph of marketing over functionality”. Tell this to a die-hard iPhone fan and chances are that he can get pretty nasty with you. It is often said that you can negotiate with a terrorist but not with an Apple product user.


So is the newest iPhone overrated or is it still way ahead of its counterparts from Samsung, HTC, Nokia and BlackBerry?

Here are top 5 reasons to buy and to not to buy the iPhone 4. Decide yourself what outweighs the other.

Reasons to Buy the iPhone 4
It's beautiful and cool. It's bold, sleek and classy; an absolute pleasure to hold in the hand. There are no two ways about it.

The revolutionary features like FaceTime, Retina Eye, HD recording and editing, etc. are absolute killers.


23000+ apps for the phone are available in the App Store and thousands are being added each day. Whatever's there in your mind, chances are that you will be able to find an app related to that.

This baby is powerful. With the new A4 processor and double the RAM of iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 4 is lot faster. It is often said that iPhone 4 is as powerful as the supercomputers of the 80s.


Thanks the new Retina Display technology which gives four times more pixels than iPhone 4's ancestor, you a get a crystal clear screen that can perfectly render the sharpest details.

Reasons to not Buy the iPhone 4
The phone is way too expensive. Extortionate is the word used by its critics. Buy the best-in-its-range BlackBerry or Android handset and chances are that you'll end up paying a lot less.


The iPhone 4's battery doesn't last for very long. Yes, the battery life of iPhone 4 has been reviewed to be terrible by users. Many HTC phones are brilliant when it comes to battery performance.

Other competitors of iPhone have been able to install 8 and even 12 mega pixel cameras in their devices but iPhone 4 has just 5 MP to offer!

Owners of the iPhone 3GS won't miss much. Your iPhone will be able to fully enjoy version 4.0 of the iOS, the biggest benefit of which is multitasking, though you'll miss out on FaceTime.


Apple's hot new iPhone video calling feature, Face Time, comes with limited applicability. The other person has to have a Wi-Fi connection and must be a user of the same application. This limits the applicability of it against global service providers like Skype.

1 out of 3 cricketers ready to put IPL ahead of country

Nearly a third of players said they would retire early from international cricket to play exclusively in the Indian Premier League, citing fears over fixture clashes curbing their participation in the money-spinning event.
"The Indian Premier League continues to be popular with the players, and its superior pay structures for the players, continue to challenge players' priority over international cricket," May said.
"When players are able to earn over ten times their annual salary from their Boards, for just seven weeks cricket in the IPL, it would be foolhardy of Boards to continue to schedule international matches during IPL and expect players to remain loyal to the Board and international cricket," he said.
The survey also found that 54 percent of the players would retire from one or more formats of the game because of too much international cricket.
Players cited the major issues facing the game as governance, corruption and an overkill of international cricket, while only a single-figure percentage said decisions made at ICC Board level were in the wider interests of the game.

Google Android smart phones top as Nokia, BlackBerry sink

New York/Toronto, June 1 (IANS) Google's Android devices have become most popular smart phones in the US, said a Nielsen survey Tuesday, a day when Nokia shares tanked more than 15 percent on weaker quarterly outlook.

Nielsen said Tuesday its April survey of 65,000 users showed that 36 percent mobile consumers now use an Android device, compared to 26 percent who use Apple iPhones and 23 percent who use Blackberry.

If current mobile data usage is also any indicator, Google Android smart phones are set to leave Apple iPhones way behind. Android smartphone owners use an average of 582 MB of data each month, compared to 492 MB for iPhone owners, said the survey. Google's Android operating system (OS) is also proving to be the most popular, according to the survey.

The Neilsen survey came yet another bad news for BlackBerry maker Research In Motion (RIM) which was dragged down more than four percent as Nokia shares tanked more than 15 percent in New York after the global handset leader warned of lower sales in the second quarter.

Jittery investors also abandoned RIM stock which closed at $41.35 - the lowest levels not seen since 2006 - on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

While RIM has lost more than 60 percent of its value since 2008, Nokia's value has shrunk 43 percent since the last year. At $7.02 Tuesday, Nokia stock is at its 13-year low.

'Nokia's warning this morning is probably just the prelude to another RIM warning that investors have learned to get used to,'' analyst Jon Ogg told the Globe and Mail.

He said merger was the only solution for RIM and Nokia.

'We do not like mergers but this may be the only shot for these companies to stop the bleeding. Admittedly, this is a long-shot deal. A RIM-Nokia merger might encounter too many problems before getting off the ground. Still, what choices to these two companies have today?' the analysts said.

RIM, whose current stock is a pale shadow of $150 seen in June 2008, is currently valued at about $23 billion.

The presence of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at RIM's BlackBerry World annual conference of customers, developers and partners in Florida last month fuelled speculation that the cash-rich software giant could soon buy the BlackBerry company to make a mark in the smart phone market. Microsoft, which is sitting on a $48-billion cash pile, has already partnered RIM to adopt its Bing as the default search engine on BlackBerry smart phones.
