1)Why do my comments HAVE to be based on experience with an iPhone 4? Alas I am not the President of the United States but don't I have a voice on his decisions? Sheeeeeez. Relax.
2)I guess you didn't read my post. "Is it a problem for you?"....ummmm...no, never has been...and I clearly stated that I own a 3GS.
Your rolling eyes and snobby comments seem to be for the 99% of people out there that don't, for a billion reasons, own an iPhone 4. Let us all bow down to you and mute ourselves as we shall not voice our opinion about the latest Apple product which has a major product flaw.
You don't have to believe it lol I was there.....so was the wife....I was the last patient of the day so he had plenty of time....he even asked me to go golf with him but that's besides the point.....my wife actually was the one that first read that Apple had done this to the Droid.....and then she said and I quote " i can't believe we tried that exact same thing at his office" but believe what you want, steve jobs is wrong and he knows it's a flaw, still kind of childish to keep fanning the fire of other companies....
although i understand apple is getting overly criticized for something relatively minor, and apparently others have it too, I dont think apple should be making such a move.
"Why am I the only one wrong? You (they) have it too!!"
a classic "Tu quoque" reasoning fallacy....
what apple should do is fix the damn thing so everyone else would have it, but apple wont, and then claim their superiority. now thats a winner.

The newly-revised ad is hitting the presses as we speak.
DROID X: The phone that allows you to hold it any way you like.*
* but not that way.
Wow, are people really so stupid to believe that they would actually believe that video. No one could possibly be so gullible and believe that video. I know that the apple zealots are clinging to every straw but honestly, that video is just pathetic.
BTW, what do all you people really use a smartphone for, these days most people dont even talk on them, most people text, use it like a lap top and play games. At least thats what I see and thats how I use mine for the most part. The phone is the last priority for me but when I need it, its never let me down yet, even in week signals! Yes, I know the phone does the texts but its less sensitive to signal strength.
My iPhone 4 works flawless!!!

So the iPhone 4 videos are real?
Get over yourself, then all the videos are bull?
This is just ridiculous.
Can you make these phones drop signal with ONE FINGER? Of course you can attenuate the signal when you hold it like that. The problem with the iPhone can be demonstrated with your PINKY FINGER!!!
Show us ONE phone that has this problem. Just one.

Haven't you learned yet? Loosing that childlike zeal has you stuck in a cubical and paying a mortgage! Keep the childlike zeal, you play all your life, create great things and the finger pointing, not to mention the raspberries, is just an additional bonus.
Be a child and you get rich. Be an adult -- bend over!

That was from a quick search. Seems they all say Microsoft helped apple. By investing into Apple it geve investors confidence where their stock had dropped about 50%.
Maybe didn't save them is the right word. Let them survive is more apt maybe?
The only article I could find that disagrees is the one you posted.
I'll keep looking, it's a very interesting subject.
If you don't like the iPhone 4, don't buy one. The rest of us will be less critical and cash in from it. No one ever built a statue to a critic.
Uh, what the hell is the difference? No one makes a call with just one finger hitting the sweet spot. These videos show a reasonable grip (its how I hold my samsung) dropping bars on phones other than just the iphone.
Like it or not, its good PR to consumers (meaning the masses who aren't tech forum nerds like us), whether or not its bending the truth a bit.
The Iphone 4 videos were made by users who want apple to fix a problem. Apple produced video in order to defend a detective product. Most intelligent people and non fanboys could understand that.
oh, in that case, you totally have my respect!
Thanks, hope you have the same success with your outlook!
Not at all. It is quite logical to show the idiots out there that bought into the Antenna-gate FUD that all hand held cell phones have the same issue. Whereas with other phone users simply moved their hand hold until they got a better signal the anti Apple trolls insisted in trying to find the weak spot on purpose. Kind of ludicrous when you actually think about it. It would be like trying to drive a car lying down even though you couldn't see just because you want to and then blaming the car manufacturer when you crash!
I own the iPhone. I use it. That doesn't change anything about the lies that are being told.
And you are NOT cashing in on anything.
