16 July, 2010
Apple just finished off its press conference dedicated on the iPhone 4 reception issues leaving us quite puzzled, to say the least. At one point Steve Jobs was saying that every phone has a weak spot, then he...

    Apple will not give away the iPhone 4 bumpers: whey will give for free some old cases for previous model of iPhone which will fit with a little effort iPhone 4.

    The antenna fault is not acknowledged by Apple because it is a hardware problem residing in the iPhone's frame: they can't change the case design because it is patented so they can't fix the problem, then it remains just to deny it so that to continue to sell the phone.

              iphonefan, 17 Jul 2010Battery part of unit. Why i like that because steve said... moreOk the Battery, u know that Nokia devices stay for more than 4 days on minimal usage, which shows their reliable batteries plus it lives really long, I used my old E90 for more than 3 years and I saw a difference in battery life but not that big of a difference.

              Ok lemme ask u a question how much time does it take u to charge the Iphone, quite a lot if ur not sleeping. Nokia charges super fast which shows their over the years experience with batteries and battery charging, u can test that for urself.

              About the battery cover and changing batteries, its always easier for the customer to change his battery, and ofcourse it says in the manual that u shouldn't use fake or 3rd party chargers or batteries, so that rules out buying fake stuff unless I have a very cheap phone, and I am myself so cheap to go buy one.

              About the phone falling, lol u should see my old E90 its red color faded from the bumps and hits, I agree that sometimes the cover opens up but it didn't affect anything, nor did it see to be badly built, in the E72 for e.g. U can hold one for urself and ull see how well built and durable it is in the hand.

              That's not a problem to start with, and I don't think anyone would lose his cover while its firmly attached lol. Plus u should notice ur cover when its not there while holding the phone, for me I never lost my cover since I used a phone lol. Come on that's just silly. Gimme something that's worth asking about.

                ********************************************************************
                There were two key messages from the conference. The first fact is that there is NO iPhone 4 antenna problem.All phones suffer from this, and the iPhone is a superior phone. The second fact is that even though there is no problem Apple is going to give everyone a free case that will make the non existent problem go away.

                        iphonefan, 17 Jul 2010ok here DivX format and Xvid most likely to carry virus as... moreWhen a virus is made, its made for a certain targeted operating system for e.g. Operating system A .. If that virus goes to a completely different operating system for e.g. Operating system B, then it won't get affected, because the operating system can't read that file and the virus is in a new area which doesn't know where to attack so the device just reads it as a normal harmless file, I tried to simplify my words so that u understand wat I'm saying. Anyways mobile devices won't get affected by any type of virus these day, that's old skool lol, 5 years bak. So u should feel a 100% secure with any device out there.

                                Warranty, putting in cheaper, bad batteries could make battery life worse and not provide voltage corrections

                                The battery is so advance, its in build monitoring and temperature circuity is part of the assembly unit.

                                If its dropped the battery & case don't fall out.

                                No lost covers as well.

Ya maybe if u buried the phone with a bunch of dead bodies, I tried killing my phones signal in a low signal area, and what do u know, nothing happened and I even got a call while testing just while watching the conference which proves Apple misleading ways, I tried that with all 3 device I got, and nothing of what Steve says. Its just the Iphone suffering from it not other phones.

Not all are pirated mate, and not all have viruses, if ur talking about computers, there anti virus soft wares which are really cheap these days and very effective.

                                        2. Also even if I downloaded a pirated Divx file which has 10 viruses, it won't affect my mobile device, u know why ? Cause its a completely different operating system.
