A recall is a stupid move. If not happy with iPhone, ask for a refund.
If the phone is unusable, return it.
The bitching and moaning on this issue has become a joke. Nobody is forcing you to keep your iPhone. If it doesn't meet your needs get a different phone. People act like they are owed something....

ffs, i do NOT want a bumper, free or not, to add thickness to my iphone.
let's not forget its original intent is to be portal and mobile, it's not sensible to have ****en layers of garbage fix/protection on the outside when the device itself it supposed to work without.
i m gonna donate my iDropCalls4 to "is it okay to microwave" if s. jobs doesn't issue recall and stay away fromproducts for life.

Steve will announce tomorrow that the "death grip" was actually just a ingenious new feature that he forgot to mention. Problem Solved!![]()
Wow, the assumptions here are fairly ridiculous...Lets 1 in 10 people are left handed. Lets say 1 in 10 people live or work at the fringe of reception. This gives you 1 in 1,000 lets not forget that not all left handed people hold their phone in a strange way.
They might argue that anyone with an IQ over 60 could learn not to be a clumsy oaf.
Why? I would think anyone who had an IQ over 60 and purchased an iPhone would automatically buy something to protect it as the first order of business. Signal issues or not, you should get some kind of case or bumper.
It's called an electric cattle prod. If they bump into you, give them a nice shock back.Unfortunately I am surrounded by a whole world of people who have IQ below 60 and are clumsy oafs - who can easily knock my nice phone out of my hand or off of a desk.
Well, the phone may not work very well, but damnit, it'll be stylish. Mission accomplished.
I completely agree with your statement.
In fact, I think there will be several returned tomorrow or over the weekend if they don't/refuse correct the issue.
These will be some of Apples most loyal users! Angry, shocked and in complete disbelief that Apple has become just another manufacture.
I won't be returning mine. I'm in London and mine works just fine. I think its your network in the US. I've yet to lose a call.
Wow, the assumptions here are fairly ridiculous...
* First, plenty of right handed people hold their phones with their left hand. As many have stated, they'll hold their phone with their left hand while doing other tasks with their right hand. It's not at all uncommon, and simply walking around in any public place would show that.
* Two, you don't need to be "at the fringe of reception" to get a weak signal. Cell towers sometimes go down. Cell towers are also often over-utilized. Both scenarios, even in large urban areas, result in loss or weak signals. I live in Phoenix, a fairly large metropolitan area, and I've been an AT&T customer for almost four years, and have had plenty of times where, within the core areas of the Valley (Phoenix, Glendale, Tempe, Scottsdale, Mesa), I've lost signal strength.
Recently I was even in Evanston, IL, and for those who are familiar with the Chicago area, it's basically in central-north Chicago. Densely populated. I had absolutely no coverage for a few hours, with a "No Signal" on my iPhone for awhile, and a low signal for much of the remaining time.
Remember all the reports of low signal strength in cities such as San Francisco, New York, etc.? Yes, clearly "fringe" areas...
* Three - It's hardly "strange' to hold your phone in the manner causing the loss of signal/dropped calls. In fact, there were promotional images that Apple themselves released showing people holding the phone in the exact manner that is now known to cause the signal loss/dropped calls.
Yes, clearly, such a "strange" way to hold it...
Doesn't the fact that Chuck Schumer is jumping on the band wagon tell you everything you need to know? Interesting that this "news" is escalating right when Google is being asked to detail its possible illegal lobbying with the White House. Most of the noise about how "terrible" the reception is, comes from non iphone users who are rooting for their favorite smartphone team. Why didn't anyone talk about how the last 3 iphones didn't receive better scores on reception than Blackberrys & Nokias? This iphone is clearly better than any previous iphone; and if you don't agree, buy the 3gs for $99 bucks!
Wait a minute, if your IQ was below 60, would you even know it?![]()
