A question: Have they tested the nokia n97, the BB 9700 or the N1?
I dare them to recommend ANY of the above phones and say blatant lies that they are better in reception than the iphone.![]()
This is classic, Amen!!!
Do people still pay attention to Consumer Reports? I used to subscribe a long time ago but got fed up with the totally passionless way they review their products--especially cars where passion is a prime factor in buying a car for many of us. But they do that with everything and although objectivity is an important factor, it is not the only factor.
seriously
1. Apple admitted, that problem exists
2. they marked spot that you should avoid to touch (like Nokia does)
3. if you don't like it return the phone
I can't get it, really
again
IF SOMEBODY HAS A PROBLEM WITH A DAMNED PHONE, JUST RETURN IT
30 days is a fair amount of time to make a decision.

At first when I joined this site I figured that the majority of people were just like me, excited about products that fit our needs. However in this turn of events with the Iphone 4 as the protagonist, I'm amazed at how a corporation has managed to effectively put a positive spin on a problem so obvious. More amazing is how anyone can believe ANY corporation and take their word as the ultimate truth. Sure, it's your money. I guess it's no wonder why corporations consistently take advantage of consumers and get away with it. Either consumers like yourselves are ignorant, or in this case are brainwashed into believing that their **** doesn't stink.
I returned mine -- So are you saying I should no longer post about it?
What will I do with my free time??
All in fun -- It's Friday!
N1 has better reception than ip4 in san francisco, thats for sure!
So may all Windows/Android users please step forward and leave?![]()

I very much dislike employing the word "fanboy" for it's connotative resonance, but you people are forcing me to use it.
This thread tops them all; never have I seen such a prevalent flock of fanboys. What obliges you to injudiciously disregarding the words of a credible source? I know; your undying commitment to Apple.
If Apple intends to fix the antenna, then can't we conclude it's defective? If we can conclude this, then we can definitively conclude free cases as not being an effective solution. Because of this, I can safely say that I concur with CR continuing to not recommend the iPhone.
the sheer amount of illogical posts here unfortunately represents the mindset of the typical apple fan these days. how times have changed.
why is this front page news? how is this news at all? apple didn't fix the problem. if consumer reports suddenly recommended the iPhone because they now offer a free case, their credibility would be as much as a joke as apple's

If you want a fix then you need to change physics. Have fun.
Good for you! One less Iphone hater

I believe Apple has done the right thing. The device isn't defective. I actually believe Apple will come out of this looking better now. The iPhone 4 with a bumper/case is still the best smart phone on the market.
THIS IS NON-ISSUE - I am not sure how else to explain this! If what Steve says does not make sense to you, you should stop using smart phones all together. Any possible redesign will be faced with the same fact - any phone antenna attenuates when you come in touch with it. If it will be fully isolated inside the phone, it will not receive any signal hence you will not be able to call at all. So the trade-off is to put it close to the surface of the phone. But then you grip and loose bars. There is no way around it. End of story.
Why can't I reproduce the issue on my Iphone 3G? If you can explain that, I'm a happy camper!
