    i have one. and mine has been flawless so far. at first mine was going up and down all the time on the signal bar and when is showed no signal you were still able to make a call. now it's calmed down (i've had it a few hours) and it only dips occasionally but it doesn't appear to make any difference to the signal reception itself.

    hopefully they'll release a fix for that. with such sort supply i'd be gutted if i had to send it back faulty.

      Dear all iPhone 4 user and iPhone 4 wannabe.

      First, I want to thank all the ibeliever who line up for iPhone 4. You really showing your fate, and thanks to you, we're gaining more attention from the non-ibeliever. Hopefully, your support will make us stronger.

      For those of you that still have doubt in iPhone 4, DO NOT worry to join us. Apple is the most advance technology maker in phone industry. We were the first to introduce video call with Face Time. No other manufacture have use the face time before, and this will set another history in humanity. We're also the first to have the real multitasking. Other phone operating system multitasking have a flaw that make it hard to use. Our multitasking is specially craft by the best engineer in the world.

      Today, I will introduce the new feature of iPhone 4 that were not introduced to journalist yet. It is called human antenna. The side of iphone is a rare stainless stell material that were hardened by iSteve sweet. Imagine how long iSteve must stay in Sauna to satisfied all of the ibeliever needs. When iSteve introduce the iPhone 4 a couple of week back, he mention that the stainless stell is to make the phone reception stronger. The way it work is by using our body as the antenna to receive the signal. Thus it is a special patented apple technology called human antenna. (and we will surely sue anyone that try to steal this one). The side effect of this human antenna is, after prolong use, we can hold the iphone without looking at the retina display and our brain can interpret the GSM/3G data that were in the air. This is the highest secret ultimate feature that currently only iSteve able to do.

        Apple CS, 24 Jun 2010Only the great iSteve can do anything he like. If you do... moreHa ha your sarcasm is brilliant and funny,however the worringing thing is that there is a huge majority of apple fanboys who view Steve Jobs this way. More worrying Still is that Steve Jobs has little respect for his minions knowing theyll pump out massive fees for any grovel he throws out and theyll lap it up like hungrily,after all as steve says 'this is what you need'

            Virtual, 24 Jun 2010So, is that good or bad for the iPhone?Only the iPure would understand the hidden message in my post.

            I wish you find your enlightenment and understand that when we launched the iPhone 5 with only 12 hour standby time and real usage of 4 times, we did it because we want all the ibeliever to be statisfied.

                  Kelth, 24 Jun 2010i have to say only one thing! WHAT A JUNK :X i have dropped... moreFrom the comment you made, I assume you were the non-ibeliever.

                  I have a great news for you, and hope that you can learn from this news and be a happy ibeliever.

                  There were a tale of a woman wearing a glass shoe. And this fragile shoe is a sign of beauty. A sign of beauty because wearing a fragile things is a sign that you have a great power. Only the great one can use such a things.

                  Do you ever heard a maiden wearing an aluminum shoe? Anyone here?

                  At Apple, we try to give you the best material ever. The fragile power of king kong glass. The one that Cinderella use to gain prince charming attention.

                  If Cinderella were using an aluminum shoe, the price charming would thought she were from the wizard of Oz circus. and would not fall in love with her.

                  If you can't take my word on this, then it's a pitty that you can't join the other ibeliever. the ipure.

                      And I was told that there were hundreds of youtube videos of people complaining about cracked iphone 4's, but all I could find was one???

                      The rest were mock ups, or simply older iphones that were dropped and smashed.

                          Lol. So at the end of the day, the only ammunition the haters have is a video of someone dropping the iphone 4 on the ground repeatedly intending to smash a glass screen that was never intended to be hit so hard (and never said so by Apple), and a signal problem caused by....wait for it....covering by your hand??

                          HAHAHA. Lame.

                          Incidently, Stephen Fry has just reviewed the iphone 4, and prefers it to his own Blackberry AND his HTC Desire! He doesn't own a Nokia for obvious reasons.

                                        sherif, 24 Jun 2010it's a big problem :S how do you recharge the phone ? Only iPhone, the great phone comes with big power drain.

                                        Other phone with low computing power such as the Nokia N900 won't drain the battery very much.

                                        I have a couple of nokia's here just to prove that iPhone is the biggest power drain (thus having the greatest CPU), that nokia such as 3650/6600/E61i/N81/5530/C3 and especially 1616 don't drain power as much our great iPhone were.
