iPhone 2G v iPhone 4
Let me sum this up:
Three years with the original iPhone and NO SIGNAL ISSUES in my home.
Two Days with the iPhone 4 and two failed Text Messages and a dropped call!
APPLE HAS A PROBLEM! It's the same house, the same carrier, the same tower, and the same hand holding the phone in the same manner. The only difference is the phone.
<end of debate>
Fix it, Steve!

Doubt it. Cause with some of his assumptions, he could not hit the side if a bloody barn, let alone a bullseye.
I definitely agree there is mass hysteria, but, "ignorant videos"? If you're referring to people just demonstrating the issue, then I think you're mistaken.
It looks like the problem bridging the two antennas on number 1 is cause of number 2. Cause it looks tome that number 2 its connected eachother, but it shouldn't. If it were not, then bridging the antennas on number 1 wouldn't make any effect...but maybe am wrong...
Yes, I think that's been covered. The issue is connecting each antenna.
coverage is sold based on the carriers advertised area. If you are not in a area that AT&T advertises coverage, nothing you say is going to get a phone defected out. Now if your phone never got a signal period and AT&T coverage maps says you should, you might have a better argument.
Retail stores that sell phones tend to have pretty strict requirements for what they consider defective units or not. Of course in most cases, the retail outlet demands you talk to the carrier. Apple is very different in that case.
I really, really believe it is. I think this because EDGE cannot be affected by the death grip, but 3G can.
Hmmm... interesting point. I see the warning not to touch the antenna area in my Nokia manual. But Apple's iPhone Product Information and Safety pdf only says where the antenna is located. If that's the case, and I haven't missed something, perhaps the next job listings for positions at Apple will contain an opening to replace an FCC regulatory submissions lawyer?

Oh my god!!! 2 whole failed messages?! And an entire dropped call! jesus dude, how are you surviving?
This is why I dont consider emails from Steve Jobs as Official apple statements and instead rely on press announcements. Not only are they content limited, there is no way to authenticate them as official. This whole fake exchange demonstrates exactly why emails should not be seen as official unless we see more action taken at the corporate level. Emails can be faked and even ones that are real can be taken way out of context.
Emails from sjobs@apple.com simply do not constitute a formal statement by Apple 100% of the time. They tend to be statements taken from a defensive point of view that simply can mean far too much.
The program caches our request based on Wi-fi when it can and sends it when data is available.
I've been having iPhone 4 reception issues, but I would never trade up for an evo. I don't understand what all the hype about Android is. It is essentially a WinMo 6 device with larger icons.
I would sooner switch back to a 1st generation iPhone.
Thats good info...but, are you sure?
I get an error that says 'unable to determine location. Try again later'
Thanks.. To the rest of you.. See I told you so. Apple shareholders should sue BGR
Does make you wonder is this Tom is not in on a scam to short the stock.Thats what I recall. It uses whatever data it can get via any available connection. If it cannot get any data, you can manually tell the program where the failure was. See here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/at-t-mark-the-spot/id338307313?mt=8
ANd the pictures seem to indicate that it uses GPS but I will amend my statement by staying that it does use location services (more accurate) whatever they may be.
I think he's amusing himself by reading replies to his posts from retards on the internet.
BTW - thanks for stepping up to the place
It's NOT $200, silly people!
You can take home a new car after you paid $200. Does that make the car worth $200? Nope.
The unsubsidised price of the iPhone 4 is £499 ($758) in the UK. That is to have the handset without a contract or tied to a telecom company. $758!
Of course, most people on both sides of the Atlantic pay enter a contract and they get free minutes and some data allowance every months. Nevertheless, then the full price of the phone is into the thousands.
So much about some teenagers' lack of understanding of the true cost of life.
