        To the person who said that Facetime was invented by Apple = ROFLMAO!!! (I shit you not, the lingo on their website clearly says "FACETIME. VIDEO CALLING IS A REALITY")

        I'm prety sure that video calls over wifi is something that has been happening since the dawn of webcams... since how long ago? Cos i'm sure that's what it is, since laptops have had built in webcams FOR THIS PURPOSE.

        But I digress. Whether the other companies have reception problems or not is moot. One video from Apple is not proof. Fact of the matter is, you have an IPHONE, a PHONE, which is NOT acting as PHONE SHOULD. Why should I have to own one to be able to comment on an issue which APPLE has clearly dragged others into? To bring others to your own level is unprofessional, and I'm sure is against trade laws

          Jon, 20 Jul 2010God why is everyone still going on about this?? The iPhone ... more@Jon

          i don't have an iPhone 4 so i was completely unaware of the issue.
          do you know who told me about the problem? iPhone 4 users.

          where were the forum threads deleted? on an Apple forum used exclusively by Apple customers.

          i'm sick of hearing iPhone 4 users whinge about their product too.

              God why is everyone still going on about this?? The iPhone 4 is simply the best phone out there, the reception issue, if you call it a issue, i haven't had a problem! This is just been simply blown out of proportion by the media!!

                regardless of what people say about the iphone 4...they have sold more than 3 million of them in under a month...best selling phone ever...only 0.5% of them have been returned....people just like to criticise things they cant get and self centre human beings...look at the stats...only 1 phone per year but it better than other manufactures...samsung(most phones out to date?,sony ericsson(most problems worst being the satio who lost $140 million on),motorolla (cant keep up with manufactures and technology),nokia(stuck on the same thin for 5 years...5 mp camera and same nonsense problems and software)....must i go on...it took 2 years to bring out anything close to iphone 3g...and saying that it came out in 2008...closest thing htc desire(out 2010)...iphone all the way

All other brand need to hold up their name. Partially steve should have talk too much, he should just focus on the flaw. I think all apple fans is more interested to get phone fixed.

                      That is a shame for Apple trying to drag all the other major competitors in the industry in this major issue.
                      An lets say their examples are true. Their strategy still does not stand. And you know why? Because except Apple, all the others have several handsets models. And you cannot make this a general problem for all handsets in the market. So what if a BlackBerry model (for example) have an antenna issue? You have other models to choose from if you really want one of their devices. So Apple acted as a kamikaze in this press conference not realizing that they will not even create any damage pointing at competition. They are having a single faulty handset in the market...and this move looks like they want to find out how to commit suicide faster.

                          All these iphone fanboys defending iphone 4. NOT ALL iphone 4 users are happy with their iphone 4 as they were the ones who complained about calls dropping in the first place. Maybe Steve Jobs again initially thought about making more money by selling the plastic/rubber insulation to fix the antenna issue!

Because of this, he created more negative news. U should cool down and think of a way to solve it, blaming on other brand does not solve the phone issue. He should just fix the flaw asap.

                                  Look on the bright side Steve Jobs hasn't blamed global warming yet for the iphone problems so it can't really be happening.

                                      Someone should file a class lawsuit from consumers, and mobile companies against Steve Jobs and apple. Someone should stand up and teach this flimsy guy a hard lesson.
