Antenna wars: RIM, HTC and Nokia strike back at Apple

18 July, 2010
That was one hell of an odd press conference on Friday. Typical Apple. Instead of just admitting its faults Apple decided to point a finger at the other mobile phone manufacturers and accuse them of selling...

Apple is NOT FAIR to other mobile phone manufacturers, Mr Jobs pulled few companies into the iphone 4 antenna design flaw & create a confusion, hoping consumers will assume that iphone 4 is perfect & other brand of phones is badly designed

Apple is not holding any responsibility at all. Instead of saying "We'll look into this matter seriously. If it really affect the signal reception, we may consider admitting this is a design fault", they pushed the blame to others. Get lost Mr Jobs


Luckily Nokia, HTC & RIM were quick to fight back.....
Anyway, this battle will continue for some time, till Apple solve this problem

      No-one can escape the laws of physics.

      Why shouldn't Apple point out the facts after being singled out and hounded by thousands of people who never even used the phone, yet they have millions of satisfied customers who aren't experiencing issues.

      YouTube is full of videos of phones that display this behaviour from a variety of sources.

      btw Why do Nokia manuals have instructions on how to hold phones?

      The 8810 was a piece of junk, it used to cost $3000 and had so many problems, my Ericsson GH688 ran rings around it.

          Why ipohne 4 antenna is affected by comsumers so easily? And not the other non apple phones?

          If apple love their users, they should

          cut the price by 70%, or recall
