Apple iPhone 4G(HD) is underwhelming


so I'm sure everyone's seen the lost iPhone that Gizmodo bought off a guy who found it in a bar. Is it just me or does it seem like Apple's taken a step back in their design. It looks like an old Sony Clie, see below



Still, I gotta give credit where credit is due. If it really has a 960x640 screen, that's fantastic, although the screen is smaller than the original iPhone.

If it has 80GB of internal storage space, that's fantastic, but it you still can't plug in the phone to a usb port and use it as a flash drive, I feel that its utility is worthless. Not everything we want on our phone is on iTunes.

It's still 3G...but since we're only expecting one network with 4G this year, what can you do.

It probably has a better camera, and we won't know if it has HD recording capability yet, but right now, the Sprint EVO still looks like the phone to beat. Unfortunately, for the mindless public that sucks the proverbial nuts of Steve Jobs, any subpar device from Apple is the best (see iPad) and there is a huge possibility that with the release of the iPhone and the HTC Evo both in June that the Evo will get overlooked.

Only time will tell to see how effective Sprint's campaign will be. I only hope that it can match the wildly successful annoyingly smug ads the tools at Apple will put out.
