            I really hope a real expert can verify this.

              Apple have an amazing marketing department. It acts like a sect.. poor people that buy their products don't even know what they are getting into. And even now, after it is obvious that the phone has major issues, people will still buy them like crazy!! Amazing!!!

                    A phone you CAN'T pick up and use with both hands.

                    iPhone 4, the first “anti-dextrous”; a true innovation indeed. This is probably the first in a long time they’ve been original.

                    Two drops and the phone stopped working. Apple is conning its 'clients'. Come on people wake up!

Looks like there will be needing something like this to use their iphone 4.You prob need to glue an old telescopic radio antenna to you iphone 4 to get proper reception!!!

                            You gotta pity the fanboys emptying their bank accounts after falling for Steve jobs marketing ploys only to find a flawed phone,one which its only new to the market feature is the slight enhancement of 120x120 screen pixels...which of course turns out to be yellow. Not only is the iphone screen miles behind amoled or super amoled in contrasts it not cant produce white properly either!! Apple obviously knew about the poor signal issues long before the phones release but didnt care as they want you to pay the extra 30 quid for an oversized colour elastic band 'bumper' case to try rectify the problem.

                                So it can be said that some of the Retina displays... have cataract.

                                I'll get my coat.

                                  People used to say "what the iphone does, it does well" LOL! Not any more. Now people will say "what does the iphone do?" And the answer will be "break because it's a cheap piece of crap!"

                                    Guys,

                                    I really hate to say this, but it seems the radiation from iPhone might be greater than it should be.

                                    Reason: the signal on and off, it seems that when touching certain part of the phone might influence the signal. I'm not a real expert in this, but as fas as i know, when the hand touch the antenna, thus the wireless signal were absorbed by our body. the radiation might be bad.

                                    We need to find an expert to really examine this. If this true, than iPhone 4 is a failure.

                                      Jade, 24 Jun 2010Bad reception and yellow lines...Welcome to Foxxconn!Yeah, I think the yellow stuff is pee, chinese pee from foxconn. If they'd pay be 200$ a month I'd pee on their devices too :))

                                      Yeah all first batches have issues.. right. All other companies manufacture more than one phone a year and no one has yet released such a piece of cr@p with worse signal that cuts out nad a messy screen that cracks and scratches like there's no tomorrow.

                                        Jeez, people. How many phones don't have little problems in the first batch? It happens, don't whine. And just don't drop your phone, it's an expensive piece of tech you're holding.
