      ROTTEN APPLE:as they say all it takes is one rotten apple in the case to spoil it for all
      In this case it is steve case and apple's PR that tried to shift notifiable design problems with their flagship product to whoever they could point their fingers at.
      When the heat is turned up you begin to see what kind of apple this fruit company really is. There series of responses to this whole issue is a bit fruity if you ask me.

        If Nokia tried to do what you suggest, they'd end up in court so fast it'd make your head spin, then the government would also step in, ever heard of a thing called anti-competition?

                  Anonymous, 20 Jul 2010not exactly true, i do not hate nor love the iphone, but i ... moreBut Apple did admit that the iphone is not perfect. You cannot be sorry for being imperfect. People have choices. If you buy an iphone and it ends not making or receiving any calls from where you live, then return it. But based on the iphone4's return rate, not a lot of people returned their iphones.

                  So why is it that non-iphone users are making such a big fuss on this issue when real iphone users seem to be very happy with their iphones? Don't you think there's something more to it than just making an honest comment from a non-iphone user. it's more of like hating.

                          well then why not conclude if in reality iphone4 is a functional mobile phone that can perform its most basic job ( to connect people thru calls, text and internet )with its reception problems??

                          and you are saying they have wonderful marketing strategies??

                          why not think a bit further and tell the world how iphone(apple) "conned" its customers with its "great marketing strategies"

                          common...tell the whole world...

                                      I used to believe that Apple is one of the best company...but now, the way they handle the iphone 4 fiasco...I think their slip is showing.
