Question: Apple iphone 4 owners? questions!?

Hi! I'm only 14, & I know where some of these things are about to go. So I don't wanna hear that I am too "young" for the iPhone 4!! So basically I have some questions! Before I buy ANY phone for myself I ALWAYS look into it. Questions; How much does the whole iPhone 4 data plan usually cost? (for my mother & I both.) Which is the best plan to get? (Internet usage, like how much is best? I usually use a lot of internet, but when I am at home I can run off my wi-fi) Is the iPhone 4 a good choice? (& I understand the dropped calls, antenna problem, you can get a bumper for like 29.95 I believe from Apple & I believe it comes free with your iPhone 4 purchase)  Is the battery life good?  I was thinking about getting the 16GB, or 32GB? (Me being 14 I would download music & apps, etc.) Pros & Cons? I heard there are some, "texting" problems?.. Like your messages will be upside down or something? (Seen in YouTube video) I also heard not to download the iOS update on it.. Because it slows it down? & frankly I find that it has on my iPod touch. A lot.  Hm. That's all I can think of right now. If you know any other information please share!

I can answer a couple of your questions. Data plans: Data Plus 200 MB of data for $15/month or Data Pro 2 GB of data for $25/month I wouldn't need the pro but maybe you do especially don't use wifi all the time. You will get a choice of a free case. (They are not able to make enough bumpers, though you may be able to get one anyway) I doubt you will experience any upside down texting problems. (problems like this only usually effect 1 in a million people or so) The iPhone 4 comes with IOS4.0 there is no way around that. It will not make the iPhone 4 slow. The only phone that is becoming slow is the iPhone 3g which is 2 years old. I installed IOS4.0 on my 3GS and its faster then IOS 3.1.2 and it is better (folders, multi-tasking, rotation lock, etc.) If you can afford the 32gb model get it. Though I have the 16gb and its fine I just don't carry as much music. You don't really need tons of space because you can stream internet radio, youtube, pandora etc. anywhere, So I always have something to listen to. I don't have the iphone 4 but it looks awesome. I love my 3gs and my old first gen iphone. It has been my favorite phone and I have used blackberries and winmo and palm devices before. Good luck
