“Of all the new features, FaceTime – video chat over Wi-Fi wireless Internet using the phone’s forward-facing camera – is easily the most fun,” Lynch reports. “As far as the boring but necessary act of making phone calls, the iPhone4 worked fine… I didn’t have any problems making calls on the AT&T 3G network, with or without the bumper attached.”
Lynch reports, “Aside from the major new features, the iPhone just runs faster, or at least faster than my 3G, which is about 2 years old. The phone’s glossy screen is also a big improvement – there’s no pixelation or fuzziness to be found anywhere… The iPhone4 is also heavier than its predecessors – in a good way. It feels solid and substantial.”
Full review, which seems to be intended for the most general of audiences, here.

I’ll bet it is black and silver.
Good point. The next version of the iPhone should be black and “gold”.
This week, the Boston Herald will be reviewing DVDs, hailing them as the “next big thing” in digital media.
The iPhone 4 is the exact same weight as the 3GS. He’s late and wrong…
Um, the iPhone 4 is like 2 grams heavier – please tell me that they were able to perceive this with their bare hands?
@MacAdvocate
Actually, Laserdiscs are the next big thing in digital media. Wondrous silver platters the size of LP’s — a vast improvement over the picture and audio quality of VHS tape…
I think he meant “denser”.
And I think you understood that as well.
The iPhone 4 does seem more solid. Although I would debate 2 g being imperceptible, I have ascribed the difference to the form factor/materials. The glass/metal on the sides and back vs plastic does seem to make it seem more solid. It does seem slightly heavier to me, but that is probably just perception.
That said, the Boston Herald is pretty…uh, let’s just say their tech section is not as good as the Globe’s, which is like saying the St Louis Rams are not as good as the Cleveland Browns.

I DO miss being able to enjoy my Madonna Blond Ambition or Live at Monterey concert laser discs. That, with my first big screen Mitsubishi, was the bees-knees back in the ’90’s!
