You are holding your iPhone 4 the wrong way, you know!

25 June, 2010
Yesterday's iPhone 4 launch was full of surprises - dead-on-arrival, yellow spots or white dots on the screen, lost reception signal and a bunch of happy users. But while yellow spots will likely disappear...

toni, 26 Jun 2010this is bullsh... iphone is as close as possible to perfection Perfection..... Far from it in my opinion. The Iphone ond the whole iOS and all of Apple's recent flops almost all have the same issue, they think they are "Trend Setters".

AT&T refusing to release a Snapdragon Android Phone that hasn't had it's legs cut off. God Forbid they let out a phone that will blow the doors off an iPhlop.

Serisously, think about it. They don't offer USB mass storage, No Flash Support, and 3G might as well be a dial-up connection. What makes this thing so great?

.....I'm sure they'll have an App for that (rolling eyes while shaking head from side to side)

I'm over Apple, I'm over AT&T, I'm flat over it in a general aspect. I think I'll just go get an old Nokia, at least their $20 go phone won't go dead if I hold it from the lower left corner.

    @federated:
    This is not a major flaw. iPhone is a major flaw, this is just a confirmation.

      I wonder what is Apple going to do now considering Steve Jobs says people don't know how to hold the phone !!!
      Imagine a Toyota manufactured the phone with such a problem. It would be pulled off the market same day for correction.....but NOOOO. Steve Jobs blames people for their iBad product !!!!!

        Anonymous, 26 Jun 2010wow why is the i phone so expensive can you make a more aff... moreToo much rich guys usually don't use their heads in such things and well I guess third world is full of people who can think and use their heads so if they do it cheap their flaws would be open sooner so grab the rich, make it a fashion icon and others non-rich blinds will follow and company will make money, thats the goal of Jobs and he target it pretty right.

                They knew the antenna problem + the covering glass problem from day one but they thought it might be good reason and trick to get some more bucks out of the fanboys pockets.that's why they introduced those silly bumpers with the phone to do it but they forgot when you brag and call a midrange phone Magical!!!! LOL,some smart people will guese there's something wrong with the device and they have found it! i think there might be some other flaws like the ones also found in OS review by Gsmarena and in my opinion there might be some more to be found out in the coming days

                      whey they installed antenas in that side of the phone, they havent thought about it? Cellphone is for calling and sending messages firstly, if it doesnt find signal its piece of sh*t

                        The silly excuses spelled out by Apple s chairman (You are holding it wrong)about the capability of the phone to pick up the signal when someone holds it on the left lower side cannot have any reasonable ground.
                        The last 15 years l was using some few dozen mobile phones (Nokia,SE,Samsung.. you name it)and l have never experienced any glitch touching accidentaly the area where the antenna is placed underneath.
                        After Mr.Job s statement the new phone manuals will come with specific instructions where we should allowed/dissalowed to touch the phones!!!

                          well i knew it from the very first day when i saw the third same design cellphone so called 3gs came in to existence. apple gave the one design which was the old one which was popular and thats why they kept the same design for 3 years 2g 3g 3gs they changed the design and see what happend. Apple is actually fail in making a cellphone with good camera and design and hardware with optimal price for the users


                          N8 i am waiting for you 370 euro aint bad at all

                                  it doesnt matter how many problems the ip4 has..It will still sell by the billions..and make apple share holders great dividens....and the owners of the ip4s will still belive in their apple sized brain that it is the best....no reception...What a joke....To all of us nokia and samsung fans that are constantly at war in the user comments of gsmarena..we need to stop writing about the n8 being no good,,or the galaxy having no flash,.....The great One Has No RECEPTION........ROTTON APPLES

                                        fantastic. boo-hoo for apple, maybe one day they will come off the high-horse and realise that maybe, just possibly, they are not god...The amount people pay for 'recycled' technology...you would expect more? no? Maybe thats just me. However, millions of people would argue with me that the phone isnt the best, but phones are so personal. One person may love one, another may hate it.......making a call would be nice...maybe apple will move to a wi-fi only handset!! Nice screen though...but no thanks, ill stick to my HD2.
