Is it just me or was the chart showing the different phone bar counts backwards. Under "Min" was the highest number of bars (before gripping) and under "Max" was the lowest number of bars (during grip). Shouldn't those headers be reversed?
Same with all compact cell phones.
ALL TOGETHER NOW!
IF YOU DON'T WANNA AN iPhone 4!
Don't buy it!
IF YOU BOUGHT YOU AND YOU DON'T LIKE IT!
Bring it back!
...but you know you won't.
It really makes me sick to my stomach reading all this anti-iPhone 4 stuff. It is without a doubt the greatest phone / mini computer I have ever owned in my entire life. I've owned each of the previous iPhone designs and this one absolutely blows my socks off. Excellent job Apple.

If I super death grip my T-mobile mytouch slide with two hands I loose one bar.
See it yet fanboi?![]()

How well it works depends on the thickness and dielectric.
Thin tape: barely works.
Thick as a case: works a bit better.
Big air gap: works best.
"Apple's attempt to draw RIM into Apple's self-made debacle is unacceptable. Apple's claims about RIM products appear to be deliberate attempts to distort the public's understanding of an antenna design issue and to deflect attention from Apple's difficult situation. RIM is a global leader in antenna design and has been successfully designing industry-leading wireless data products with efficient and effective radio performance for over 20 years. During that time, RIM has avoided designs like the one Apple used in the iPhone 4 and instead has used innovative designs which reduce the risk for dropped calls, especially in areas of lower coverage. One thing is for certain, RIM's customers don't need to use a case for their BlackBerry smartphone to maintain proper connectivity. Apple clearly made certain design decisions and it should take responsibility for these decisions rather than trying to draw RIM and others into a situation that relates specifically to Apple."
i knew it. rim didn't like using their blackberry to demo the signal loss issue of the Iphone4. i wonder when Samsung and HTC will step up and issue statements.
here's one from RIM.
Well Steve,
blah blah blah
And heres the thing Stevey boy, All those phones that you showed dropped bars - I accept that but at no stage did they show 'No Service' The guy was gripping them for dear life - you merely have to hold the iP4 to get he drop and No Service.
blah blah blah
And to top it all off you have made people more sceptical by not showing the Q & A session. The Q&A of probably 100,000+ that need answering.
Honestly, man up and perhaps you ned to go back into hospital to get a set of balls attached.

When you keep making fun of competitors (Microsoft, Google) you can expect something in return when you screw up yourself.
And the same goes for the community and the fanboys. Don't like Windows or Android? Don't use it and shut up. If you don't follow this advice, then don't complain when the tables turn.
interestingly, god somehow dislikes Nokia and even says their phone drop signal but you would think god will try to justify his claims with a demonstration. No Nokia phone to demo the "signal loss" issue.

Most???!!! Really???!!! I can't remember last time I saw one like this. Maybe a few, but most? I just did a Google image search on 'cell phone' and paged through 10 pages and only saw really old cell phone bricks with any kind of antenna sticking out.
They are required by the FCC to put the antenna at the bottom of the phone to move the radiation as far away from human flesh as possible. Before you go ranting on like a fool, make sure you know the facts.
Wrong, almost all phones now put the antenna at the bottom of your phone so it is farther away from your brain when you are using it.
Have you not been paying attention. The FCC requires it be placed at the bottom of the phone away from the ear piece. That's already been covered.
I just saw Apple get shredded on the NBC news tonight. At this point it doesn't matter if the phone is actually flawed or not. The press feels that it is, and apparently they also feel that Mr. Jobs acted poorly (I forget the actual word they used). No, this isn't going to destroy Apple, but it does leave a black mark on their "permanent record". Said mark would have been much smaller if Apple had said "hey, we are working on a fix, and as soon as it is ready, we will contact you to bring your phone in for repair. In the meantime, have a bumper case on the house."
If he is like the engineers I knew at college, he has 2, maybe 3 outfits: 1 he wears all the time and the others in reserve in case the first grows unserviceable.
