I thought of that too, but I said to myself, "Nah, even that's below me..."
Thanks for jumping on it though, Aggs!
Someone had to.
So, having not gotten the 4 yet, is there any way to check for this problem (err non-issue) before leaving the store? The Apple Store is almost 2 hours away.
Alright, just wanted to make sure. If you went with that, things would've gotten really awkward haha. You never know who's posting around here.Does it matter? Nobody would believe it anyways. So what's the point in answering the question?
Yep! Everything is obviously backwards in lefty world. Apple will cater, have no fear!

Exactly - never know who is really posting on here
I don't know what that means (hopefully nothing threatening). Let's just say you don't work for Pfizer and call it a night. I can't sit in this office anymore so if you don't want to fess up, I'll just declare you a winner and wish you a happy weekend!Exactly - never know who is really posting on here
just got off my call with apple CS, wait til you hear this..
so i started off with a low level rep, explained i had 4 iphones in front of me, one 32gb 3gs, one 32gb i4, two 160gb i4s.
told him all the i4s when using in hands have no signal, before i could say anything else he stated we know this is a issue, we are working on a software fix for this to be released soon, soon as he was done with his script i hit him with the same question 5 times. "how can a software fix fix this issue i am having when its clearly hardware related" he said well 3gs are now having the issue running ios4 as well (which i already knew..but didnt say anything) i asked him what are you doing for the people who paid good money for this, he said well you can wait for the 4.1OS which will be out soon. i explained i spent a total of $1631.xx yesterday, full price for 2 phones and $200 for one of them + tax came out to my total cost. i said are you going to issue bumpers to people who purchased the phones? he said no because the bumpers dont resolve the issue either (which i knew bc people on here posted the bumper not fixing their issue either), i then mentioned the emails from jobs and how they are all over tech boards and news sites and how bad the PR is for this, i said are you going to be waiving the restocking fee if i take these back? his reply its up to manager.. it just all seemed VERY scripted. he was a cool guy tho, not cocky, he transfered me up to a senior rep who i swear to christ had the same exact replies WORD FOR WORD..
figured id share my experience. im on the fence if i should return them or not. guess ill give it some time and see if this magical software fix comes out.

I'm President Obama, BTW. Rest assured, we will fix the BP oil spill before we fix this iPhone 4 catastrophe.
Nobody really cares. Lol.
It's the internet. You can be whoever you want
I work for R&D for Pfizer's International division and I graduated from Princeton top of my class. I make $285,000.00 a year not including bonuses.
Any questions?
Unlike you, I'm actually telling the truth. As for too and to, I'm an engineering major. : )
Sounds like it.
He also gave me his direct phone number and said to call him back tomorrow to see if there are any updates.
Not on the front page of the Times, let's not exaggerate.
Here's the story for those interested.

Guys and gals, no matter what happens with this issue, let's stick together till the end, k? Pinky promise..
Yessir. All you need is love.
And to learn a new way of holding the iphone, of course.
Yeah, so to prove how burned out I am, I only read the last part of your post, and not the part which clearly implied that you weren't being serious about working for Pfizer.
I'm an idiot. An exhausted idiot. Sorry haha.
Ha. I like how the way of holding it to effect signal is referred to as a "trick" that requires a sweaty hand. LOL
Amazing. AppeInsider is giving Shaw Wu's prediction of Apple's response to the problem. Why is it that people keep giving that guy a forum?
Here is my conspiracy theory.
His Steveness is looking for an excuse to step back and retire without having the shares drop too much. The problematic phones will be fixed one way or another. Massive publicity and positive customer support unheard of will save the future for Apple without his Steveness

Lol, no - it wasn't a threatening comment. Have fun on your weekend. I will be on my yacht.
That is hilarious!
I sure hope so. However, it does not look promising.
How do you know?
Like I said, you never know whose posting on here. Just don't build any bridges and you will be fine
But isn't said restocking fee always up to the manager, regardless of the issue?
