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...

Now, you have the whole "freedom" to exchange you pictures, songs, files with any friend ... but only if she/he has the same phone than you.
Well, you're free, but always under Apple control. Cheers Mr Jobs!

    It is really not fair for what Mr Jobs did.

    Just b'coz the Iphone 4 has a major flaw in it, it is really not fair for Mr Jobs to drag Nokia/ Samsung/ Moto/ HTC/ BB/ etc names into this stating the other branded phones also have the same issues.

    No one has ever complained about these other devices b'coz no one has had their calls dropped, itz only the IPhone 4 that is having this major flaw of not being able to make a basic decent call.

    Then you have the famous illiterate dumb IFans around supporting the IPhone 4, without being realized tht firstly they have been ripped off, as they have purchased a so called smartphone termed IPhone 4, which can only be used as an IPod. Please remember to hold the IPod the right way, lol!!

    IPhone 4 is a Joke, wake up and dump it and get the sophisticated Nokia N8.

    Cheers!!

      lame Steve..pretty lame...I changed my opinion about Steve and it's iphone after this whole thing with the antenna...it's an act of cowardliness to say that the phones of other manufactures have the same problem...first of all he should try to solve his phone issues not take on the others...and you don't tell one how to hold it's phone...I'm holding my phone in any way that I want... hope I made myself clear

                  [deleted post]Although i earlier thought that those add's were good enough to convince me to by a MAC, Apples current act and your post have oppened my eyes, thanks...

                  In fact this is what they have been doing... blaming others to make their product look good, sad.

                      Sambomacpro, 19 Jul 2010Everyone who is talking sh!t about apple probably doesn't o... moreFor the record, I can afford like 5 IPhone's, and I mean five for each model that has come out since the first IPhone. However, I haven't purchased one because I figured out something, Nokia is wayyyyyyyyyyy better oh and I don't have to get a contract, which makes the consumer KING!!! Isn't that how the market is supposed to work? Not that I HAVE to get a contract with a company to use the phone, but I can do whatever I want with it. As a plus, Nokia has had voice recognition software since the time of Fred Flinstone. So much for apple being a LEADER!!!!

                          For those who have doubts about the antenna design of iPhone and its performance in real application, here it is.
