I'm not sure how I'm a "lemming" for not using a case, the phone takes some getting used to, but it's perfectly comfortable to hold. I also hold the phone next to my ear, I don't try and insert it in there. How do you hold your phone so it digs into your ear?
Comfortable or Uncomfortable, the sooner Apple replaces this poor example of their work the better.
Don't get me wrong, I really like most of what Apple creates, but this phone & the CEO's condescending attitude need to be history.
The sooner the better. I'm ready to allow them a fresh start.
Time to get back on track Apple. It'll do you good.

I agree, this time around, looks took priority over durability and function. From it's poor antenna design, extremely fragile back glass and sharp uncomfortable stainless steel and glass edges iP4 is a design failure weather you agree or not.
LOL...Ok, I don't agree.
And thanks for making it clear that my opinion is so valuable to you "weather" I like it or not!
Check this thread out if you want a case to make your i4 feel like a 3G
back on track?
they are doing better than they ever have done in history, not sure what you mean?
how anyone can say the iPhone 4 is a failure just shows how much they know.....nothing.
Really? Just like the original iPhone took some getting used to? Add, by your reasoning, the Wii, original iPod, iPhone, OS X, and pretty much any new tech is flawed? Love your reasoning there buddy, care to try some more?
The first time I picked up an iP4 at the Apple Store I knew a case was a must-have, I can't imagine holding on to it otherwise. Since dropping and destroying my 2G, I've always used a case on my 3G and Nexus One, so I was planning on using one anyway.
No case for me, no problems for me. It's my first iPhone, but I've used others before. Prefer the 4 by far.
I gotta disagree with you there. I had a bumper on mine up until a few weeks ago. It felt a little different at first but now I've gotten used to it. Just because it takes some getting used to doesn't make it flawed.
I've just recently held the iPhone 3G again and it's so much more comfortable to hold than the 4. Even though I like how the 4 lies flat on a desk without wobbling, I think the compromise on comfort when holding and using the device is a step too far.
For me the phone is extremely slippery naked, I use the bumper (not because of any antenna issues) just because it feels better in the hand and more rounded.
I love the feel of my iphone 4... i dont know what you're doing to make it uncomfortable for you...?
I don't think people are doing anything to make it uncomfortable, it's just not as comfortable to hold or use as the previous iPhones were.
Mine feels just fine. It is of course always in a case, mostly an Otterbox Defender, it is after all made mostly of glass.
To Poster #76,
I don't jam it in my ear. I don't remember ever jamming any phone, land line or cell phone in my ear in all of my 66 years. That would be painful.
