i think the only advantage apple have over the other competitors are their rich appstore, iphone users think it is hundred better despite the hardware specifications and apple clever restrictions
the only strategy that cant beat it is the nokia qt sdk which let the app developers easily port their app and games to nokia meego phone and symbian 3,4 phone, and nokia is still the number one market leader with over forty market share

Apple got Abba back together to celebrate the iPhone 4 Release an the First song "MONEY MONEY MONEY IN THE RICH MANS WORLD" thats the Best Song of Steve at Apple,an now will not admit the iPhone 4 as been a Rip Off again an will not take the Blame,Apple should Recall all the Phones they have produced with the Faulty antenna an Repair the phones for Free,but a Company like Apple will just offer a Software Update,feel sorry for the buyers who signed up for the new iPhone 4 an its been alot of money wasted an you can"t return the Phone

I bet Steve Jobs wakes up in the morning everyday and thinking to himself..gosh..I fooled them again! So let me get this straight, the signal shows up with 2 more bars, due to a miscalculation, but millions of people are reporting that their signal is dead drop and no data is being received/sent from their iPhone..and that he will release iOS 4.0.1 to FIX THIS?! What are we to him, iSheeps? I don't even wanna hear the answer to this question..
I wonder what's with the "return the device in 30 days if you're unsastisfied" thing..is it that he's betting many users (fans) will keep the iPhone till he releases iOS 4.0.1 and they will THINK the signal is resolved and everybody will be happy? Probably. Because I don't think he'll be too happy to find out that many users returned their phones so as to ask for a full refund..
The yellow spots, the poor antenna reception, the volume bars misplaced (- with +) and the slow performance of its "unbeatable" iOS 4 on the iPhone 3G is just too much..I hate to say it but Apple just lost its dignity to me and many many users out there.

apple just has to accept they are WRONG!! and give rebates to all their iphone4 customers. Rebates will include phones which can actually be used to make phone calls and text, and the user manual of the phone doesn't mention how to hold the damn phonE!

Are you afraid that u might seem stupid if seen somewhere on the street carrying an iphone 4? Use your iphone4 (for things other than calling) and be happy.

It's hilarious how non iphone users aggressively post complaints in here as if they're suffering from the iphone's receptions issues, hahahaha. Real iphone users are actually dealing well with this issue. I am not even using the bumper case that I bought for my iphone and I am making a lot of calls and use my iphone to post comments on here.

A highend overpriced handset with poor reception,fooling the consumers by overrating the signal levels by using poor pseudo software.Don't believe that overpriced handsets will be perfect in all fields.Apple iphone4 lacks fidelity.

Apple tried to bypass Nokia patents and now they have got themselves in a big mess all because they don't want to pay Nokia for their patents.

Anonymous, 03 Jul 2010Why does the Iphone go from 3G directly to No service...
... moreThanks for your question,.
Have you taken the free 2 hours course Apple offered?
check your emails or register, it's via your support card added with the latest iphone4.Enter your support ID code to access
It's an on-line course, covering the do and don't s in holding styles.
All of the gangster phone holding styles are a don't from what i've seen.Hope this helps.A petty model demonstrates them for you.
Hope this helps

I think what he meant in the letter is that in the same circumstances, at a certain signal level, a Nokia for example reports X bars and the iPhone reports Y, Y > X, unreal. If you cover the Nokia, the signal drops a little and the X gets a little lower also. In iPhone case the function is not linear and dropping a little the signal triggers a huge drop in the bar. Just think of it as a function. The true function for the bars is f(x) = a*x. iPhone uses something like f(x) = 1 for x > c and 0 for x
