Aside from Signal Issue, Consumer Reports Rates iPhone 4 Highest Amongst All Smartphones

It's great, but you just can't use it as a Phone. Hm... should have called it an iDud. I wonder if the white iPhone 4s will suffer the same fate as the rushed to market black ones?

As an Evo owner, you have my sympathy...

Did you write all this on the Evo with out it running out of battery?

Where can I find the fully table? I need to see what's better of Evo and iPhone.

Yes! After i tried several times to submit it via my iPhone only to lose the connection.


ZIIIINNNNNGNGG!!

So convenient that you "don't have the issue but won't post a video". Your word is good enough right ?

If you have a 2-3 bars area, you have a specific location that is perfect to prove us wrong. Do it. Otherwise, your anecdotes can be thrown out.

Maybe because I really don't care what you think; I'm not going to waste my time "proving" something that will just be argued about because some people don't want to believe that someone else has a different experience.

It's been done :

Read and learn about the issue before trying to tell people they are wrong.



No, but like I said many times, there is a preponderance of evidence that points to a design flaw, so that 100% of units are affected. The burden of evidence is thus on people that want to claim the contrary to prove it is so. How can you defeat evidence with anecdotes ? Unless you master the reality distortion field, evidence trumps anecdotes, everyday of the week, for a logical person.

Again, people with the issue would be happy to learn it's a manufacturing defect. Be the one to show them if you can. That means they can get a working unit through an exchange.

I've worked with companies that test phones for a living. What anadtech did is not testing, at least not from an engineering POV. It's just more anecdotal evidence.

As for proof, the burden is on those that claim it is a design flaw; absent any real engineering analysis anecdotal evidence is not enough to support that claim.

Is it a design flaw; or simply normal signal attenuation? I don't know; but nothing I have seen is irrefutable evidence that it is a design flaw.

Right now, I'm in the "if you don't like it take it back; it's just a phone" camp until I see evidence that convinces me Apple is shipping defective phones. Signal attenuation, even due to poor design, is not a defect; it's simple a reason to chose another phone.

Aside from being a phone, consumer report rates the iphone highest among other smartphones.

Enough said.

I am giving Apple until Thursday to come clean regarding the proximity sensor problem and tell us how and when they will fix it. ...

...I am responding no differently to Apple than I would to any other company who produced a faulty product that I couldn't use and refused to admit it or provide a fix within my return window.

No proximity sensor issue here, no signal issue here. I'm now convinced this is a US/AT&T issue. I don't know anyone in europe with these issues. at all.

Oh, and the return window is for returns - you don't like it/aren't happy with it - return it.

Sorry to piss on your bonfire but there are loads of reports of UK users with the reception issue.

I'm one of them and there's no AT&T to blame here in the Black Country.
