I finally got the iPhone 4.

I got a brand new Motorola Backflip (run on the Android system) for my birthday last June, and I adored it. It was an awesome phone.. at first. But after a couple weeks, it started dropping calls randomly in perfectly good service areas, turning off randomly several times a day (sometimes several times an hour!), and just not functioning properly and being a reliable phone. My two younger brothers apparently were having the same problem, and the middle brother ended up switching his out. But, he had to switch that phone out 3 times (each of the 3 replacements of the same type had the same problems).. and it was just a big hassle. He ended up finally getting a new phone, which he's happy with.

I, on the other hand, was lazy. I didn't want to deal with the AT&T store to try to get the problem figured out.

But today, I finally got fed up with my phone and I ended up going to pick up an iPhone 4. I really love it! I had the very first iPhone back in summer 2006, and it was probably the worst phone I ever had. It was slow, the touchscreen never worked right, etc. So I gave up on it.. and I'm really glad I waited this long to get another iPhone, because I've been playing with mine all night and so far it's fantastic!

Now.. iPhone apps. What are your favorites? What do you use and what do you suggest against? I downloaded one for Bank of America, Facebook, and bought one for being able to do voice entry text messages.. but that's all so far! Give me some ideas of what to get next!

I just got the iPhone 4 a couple weeks ago and I love it too! If you want good wallpapers download the HD Wallpaper app, its got amazing ones from buildings to flowers to movies.

I also have a Goodreads app, iBooks, Harry Potter Scene It, IMDB app beacuse I'm forever checking stuff on there, Flixter which really comes in handy for checking movie times and DVD releases

Oh i LOVE Shazam, it is one of those things that you hold up to a song and it identifies the song and artist. I actually use it a lot more than I thought I would

I have Urban Spoon because I live in a big city that I recently moved to, A Disney app, Dictionary app and Perez Hilton, among others.

I am looking to get either the new Iphone 4 or a Droid, just curious can you get the same aps for both types of phones? Also how much do most aps cost or are their some good ones out there for free? Is there a website where one can check out aps? Thanks for any help!

Thanks so much! I'm going to download Shazam right now! I'll look into all that you wrote about though! I'm so excited about this phone! haha I downloaded the paid Scanner app earlier this morning, and I love it! But I may have found free apps similar that could be better... oh, well. It was only 99 cents. But I thought it was pretty cool. I've been scanning everything in my house all morning!

Many apps are available for both phones, but not all of them. Iphone has about 300,000 apps available, Android phones have about 100,000 apps available.

Most apps are about 99 cents to 3.99 and many are free. I'm sure there are websites that list apps but I don't know any specific ones.
