People like yourself are the reason Steve Jobs was able to successfully pull off antennagate by giving people a free case.
People seem to forget that of which is still a problem.
In my country(Portugal) myself,my mom and dad all have iPhone 4 and do not see the antenna problem,yes it lowers the reception but were still able to use it,networks on USA are probably worst due to the bigger are to cover and more users.
wtf?if it's not a problem for us why change?just so we could say we're cool because we got an Android with 5000 settings?we want a phone that just works turn on and there it goes.
BB's are pieces of crap, they are a has been ( the old ones were bulletproof). For example I am in my third BB Torch in less than a year, and I'm not the only one waiting for m contract to expire. Besides the screen resolution is so low i can actually see each individual pixel. So, not likely.
Yet another Apple stock game rumor. Anyone that happens to see one of these things should keep in mind Jim Cramer's disgusting (yet widespread) game. This kind of speculator **** is what makes our markets basically the wild west:

Apple didn't have an iPad with the iPhone 4's antennae design for months before the 4 came out.
I'm sure you three can read, and I'm sure I made it clear that not only do I believe antennagate is an issue, I can replicate it on my own iPhone. It has not affected my decision to buy and own the phone, because this decision is based on hundreds of variables, not just how the antenna behaves in a very specific case of use. What I did also say that it's likely not an issue for most consumers, and you are making a bigger deal out of it than it really is. Not really sure why I keep seeing post after post after post about it, generally spewing a lot of vitriol.
Feel free to read this article, and the subsequent retraction. The comments are also interesting.

People who blow a fuse about antennagate don't get it. If it is that big of a deal to you, don't buy the phone. This is not a public safety or a public health issue, and I'm not sure why you three are so worked up over it. There are larger consumer protection violations being committed for you to throw your energy into. Really.
Calling the iPhone 4 "dog crap" is probably the lowest form of communication available to you. I'm not sure how to have a conversation after that one.
Very true. In addition Jobs was advised well in advance & he still said ship it.
At least this issue (if true) is being outed now, not after we give Apple the money. After years of very good luck with Apple laptops, desktops and accessories, the iPhone 4 was the first significantly faulty product I've experienced. This time around I'll probably pass on iPhone 5, giving Apple another year to get it together.
Wow that was uncalled for, seeing how is the "problem" is non existant for every person I know with an iPhone 4, myself included.
Even if I go somewhere I know has poor reception I still can't get my iPhone4 to drop a bar with any of the demonstrated methods.
I'm not saying the problem doesn't exist, but I haven't heard of anyone experiencing it outside of MR.
