            So the cupertino crowd have made an official statement about the signal death recieved from holding the iphone in your hand and whats their repsonse.....'Gripping any mobile phone will cause a loss of signal its a fact of life....if you dont want to have signal issues with the iphone 4 buy out rubber case' So apple is admitting the problem...not concerned how its affecting its users and instead ratherly smugly asking you to pay even more money to them to buy a crappy elastic band bumper case....so there you go fanboys out and spend more money! The bumper case by the way will not help protect that brittle screen from cracking,clear away yellow spots,prevent scratchs or stop the battery overheating

                Deep space bar, 24 Jun 2010Lol i dropped my n900 :( it was a sad day but it still work... moreyou can ask for an exchange from Nokia. This is a design fault, and Nokia has admitted it, and they are changing all the phones with this problem.
                This is why I like nokia more, they admit when they scrue up and try to make it right, and they don't offer stupid answers like, "don't keep it like that".
                Iphone is a great device, but I won't buy it because of Steve Jobs and his arrogance, and the fact that they censor all my moves, forcing me to buy stuff only from one place and only what they want. It's my phone, I can do whatever I want with it, if I brick it I just reinstall the O.S. or pay for that.
                thank god in Europe, they are looking into the legality of forcing people to buy apps only from one store and we might have 3 cases:
                case 1: Apple decides to comply and allow other app stores to be used.
                case 2: apple decides to comply and allow other app store to be used in EU (same as microsoft with IE)
                case 3: Steve Jobs will get pissed that someone dared to question his ways and won't officially sell Iphone in EU anymore.
                Apple has already some problems since they forbid exporting Ipads from Germany to Denmark (in Denmark it hasn't already been launched), which is illegal.

                    The thing is, Apple is doing these from the day one with iPhone. I will accept their OS a good plateform for a regular set but calling it extra-smart or the best OS is the first thing Apple did and easily got away because of eye-candy stuff. iZombies bought into it and bash every other thing they saw.

                    Apple will get away from this issue too or iZombies will find a reason to cover all of this, thing is Apple is doing since the begining and sad to see people will still fall for it.

                      Clearly those issues are, like someone said in a previous post, from a rushed product. Apple will surely fine tune it and work the kinks out.

                      What I can't understand is why other fanboys are here bashing the iPhone - this is iPhone news!!! Go sulk in ur fav-brand corner, will ya? :P

                            The toughest test on a phone I have seen so far is of the 5800 and it did incredibly!!! They ran a car over its back to shatter the screen, yet the phone was functioning...
                            - Iphone 4 shattering and turning off after one drop form the ear is a fail. (Not this test, i mean the Gizmodo drop test)

                            This is the first time I have seem a hand position have any affect on signal strength... and I have owned many Nokia's, non had such a problem!
