Kinda like overclocking a 10 year old computer to try and make it run on par with current computers.

                    The problems of the iPhone are probably exagerated by the media. Software update acctualy can fix hardware issues, even the boosting of the antenna signal. I can do it on my wireless router also, so there is hope for iPhone too.

                    Don't get me wrong, I own a Samsung s8500 wave which i consider a better choice, but the iPhone is not that bad of a phone.......just a little bit too expensive though.

                      1) At no point do i mention sheep - I take it from your ultra defensive reply that your one! Happy to defend Apple without knowing the full story
                      2) Walk into any O2 store and try it for yourself! before claiming i don't know what i'm talking about
                      3) The point of my post was to clarify that it's hardware not software - i couldn't care less about how many people have "fallen out with Symbain" - that has nothing to do with my post

                      Stay tuned to the Apple press conference - make sure you've got some humble pie ready! That's all you'll be eating

                              iv noticed people goes all crazy about bars after iphone4 :D it's so silly

                              some people report dropping call most of them just showing their bars dropping on youtube, you dont need to have 5 bars to make call :) don't even two

                              and why iphone users dont return their iphone's if they have real problems? everyone can return their phones and get their money back it's so simple: if you dont like it, return it

                                Correct me if I'm wrong !

                                The antenna error is a hardware error...right!?

                                So they managed to tune the software, so it manages to burn more power searching for a signal which is weak because of the hardware error...am I wrong ?

                                  It's really sad that you and your kind make Apple-Hate an actual career.

                                  You also completely FAIL to comprehend how intelligent Symbian users gave up with Nokia and it's recent failures, and decided to buy the iphone. But the fact that many did this is ignored by yourself and you brand them as Sheep. Very childish.

                                      GC, 16 Jul 2010This is nothing personal mr anonymous, but its amazing how ... moreof course it's a hardware issue! you don't have to be an engineer toi work it out! just take off your Apple tinted glasses and use this logic:

                                      Put your iPhone4 down on the table and signal strengtgh is unaffected
                                      pick it up and you might (depending if you hold it how you want and not as Jobs says) see your signal bars decrease as you "bridge" the 2 antannae

                                      Given that it only happens when someone has the iPhone in their hands means it MUST be hardware

                                      P.S. i have seen the signal drop issue in good signal areas (i.e. O2 shops in the UK have signal boosters hidden on the shopfloor - even an iPhone directly under a mast lost bars when held in the lower left corner)

                                        Overblown media coverage and foaming mouthed hate has put this problem way way out of proportion. It's to be expected though when a company does so well and makes so much money.

                                        Apple may have dropped the ball here, but it still in no way matches the unholy foul up by Nokia on the N97. Hardware that actually damaged it's OWN hardware. Camera shutter that damaged the lens. lol.
