My dad is looking get an iPhone 4 through his company. But with most new products, it is good not get the first round in case of manufacturing glitches. Although I realize the iPhone 4 is not exactly a new phone, it is for Verizon. Thus, I am exercising caution before I tell my dad it is safe to buy.

So, how is the quality of the iPhone 4 on its first run on Verizon everyone?

Although I love blackberries, what I currently own, their quality control has scared me from buying first production runs. lol....dam RIM!

Like you said, it is not new. Period. So it has a new carrier? It has had many carriers in Europe forever.

The quality is second to none I have had a ton of phones and this phone by far is the best from a feel standpoint. It does not feel cheap at all and feels very solid in the hand even better than the motorola droid.

Very safe! The phone is built solid and it's a old phone from 7 months ago.

the iphone is the most solid built phone I have ever owned. It's quality is incredible. You have nothing to worry about. Even if there is a problem there is a 1 year warranty from apple. But with confidence.

Next to my MacBook Pro it's probably the most solid thing that's made in China.

If you get one that has issues you have a 1 year warranty and Apple will just give you a new one.
