ok guys so i was looking at videos on youtube about the iphone 4 antenna so i saw this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9Otx3XeA-c is about signing a petition for all iphone 4 users to get free bumper cases links are on the description of the video and if u want u can even get a forum signature COME ON GUYS LETS SIGN THIS! :D
 
I don't want a bumper. I want a 600 dollar phone that works properly out of the box.

That's the unsubsidized price for the phone. The reason yours cost only $200 was because you signed a 2-year contract with AT&T, and AT&T forked over the other sum of money to Apple.

Everyone's paying that much for the phone. You just don't realize it because it's subsidized by AT&T and they get the money from the subsidy from the dollars you give them each month for service. That's why they have a 2 year contract so they can make sure you pay for your phone in full.
 
even if that petition gets enough signatures, how likely is it that we will get free bumpers? srsly.
 
I guess if people are unhappy with the performance of the phone they could bring it back, it's within 14 days.

I heard the EVO "4G" is pretty sweet. :rolleyes:
 
I dont need a bumper to correct the reception because my reception has been perfectly fine.

I will of course have a free bumper courtesy of Apply though if they are offering ;)

Sure. Or we could act like adults and buy a bumper ourselves.

Or act like LOGICAL thinking adults and demand that the phone, REGARDLESS of cost, works like a CELL PHONE should because it's being advertised, first and foremost, as a cell phone that we are tied to paying a monthly contract for service. That means get a signal.

Thinking logically, and disregarding cost, my phone works just fine unless I hold it in a way that, being right handed, I never hold it.

Couldn't have said it much better. I have no interest in a bumper, free or not - I've never used a case on a PHONE and I don't want to start now. I just want my PHONE to act like a PHONE. This is my 4th iPhone so I have a pretty good idea up to this point as to how the reception should be - and this isn't cutting it. I really hope it's just a bad batch as I've already sold my 3GS.
 
I wouldn't care if I had walked into Walmart and bought the $20 prepaid nokia, I'd still expect it to work as it should and until it did I wouldn't be happy!
 
The amount of time/effort spent trying to get free bumpers > cost of bumpers

Ever hear of opportunity cost people?

There are plenty of phones that provide that, maybe you should check them out.

Unfortunately, a perfectly functioning iPhone 4 is not a right.
