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...

          I bought a bumper case for my iphone. I get awesome signal. No fluctuation no matter how I hold the iphone. A case is the ultimate solution to the problem, which users would likely buy a case for their iphone anyway. I really don't see this a big deal. My iphone4 has better call quality and gets more bars than my 3gs, so I am still very happy with it. Battery life is also significantly better than the 3gs.

            Iphone 4, 27 Jun 2010Well to all the apple fanboys who defended the design flaw ... moreThat being said I'm still sure when re-released it would still sell just as much. Wouldn't be surprised if it sold even more. I wonder of the 1.5 million that bought it how much of those are being sold online?

                  Well to all the apple fanboys who defended the design flaw with their lives. Steve Jobs has posted a message on Twitter: ‘We may have to recall the new iPhone. This I did not expect.’

                    Anonymous, 27 Jun 2010The iPhone 4 is a good product, despite what all the haters... moreIt is not just about hate for sake of hate. I will give you example of yourself, you are angry or maybe not "ok" with what they said about their mistake or calling defect a feature.

                    So people who can actually see through their OS against their own words feel the same way as you do and they go crazy, they go mad, they go angry when others instead of understanding what they are trying to point out, denies them and answer them with something that doesn't make sense.

                    Like you said you will still take it because it does what you want, most of other users don't say this but they call it "The Perfect" device and call every other device a fail or copycat. Ok some struggling companies are trying to do things this way because they sees money in it.

                      The iPhone 4 is a good product, despite what all the haters are saying. However this comment is about the most degrading thing they could ever say to customers and completely unacceptable... Poor form. Holding it the wrong way... Maybe you messed up with the design? Move the antenna point to the top right, where people don't hold the phone. Shame really they'd be so ignorant. I'll still buy because it personally does what I want 1000x better than any other phone, but I wish they'd not said a thing and just fixed the issue.

                          Even the most unreliable video game console ever(not new "S" models):Xbox 360(which is my favorite and beloved after my Xbox)took at least a month to show it's lacks of engineering and since june 2007 every new post in blogs was about how apple is a great company compare to MS and now only 3 days after the launch of newest creation of mighty phone is showing it's colors and now there is a wrong and right way to holding it!!
                          well earlier Steve Jobs said the new display is besting all in market and now we seen the proof.apple set it self head to head with Samsung,a company that has been in electronic industry(and specially display)before WW!after steve jobs claim about display electronic giant made statement and said it's Super AMOLED technology is best of all overall and today we seen the proof.
                          if i was in handset business,with this informative story i would never go head to head with Samsung.

                                    Anonymous, 27 Jun 2010Just got a bumper case for my iphone. Now I can hold it how... moreYes, just like "can't copy paste, give them a word Finger-friendly, can't do basic connectivity, give them Multi-touch to play with, still can't develope features to meet with other real smartphones, give them glass-face, facetime, fake-multitasking and they be happy." Now... can't redesign the antenna right, give them a bumper.

                                        Steve said on keynote: "...nobody has ever designed the antennas this way..." - well Steve, maybe there was a reason nobody did it.

                                        One can only speculate on how this miss was not detected. My guess is because they are so protective about their new iphone models and are busy disguising the prototypes with rubber and other crap and cannot test it the way it's supposed to be tested. I bet the lost iphone made Steve angry and he forbade people taking the phone out in the real world and test it.
                                        It's ironic that the way they hype their own products (hiding all info on upcoming products) really worked against them this time.
