            Jeez...Steve Jobs is in despair. Soon he will say "it's the end of the world buy more iphones!" of course, if a phone is in the area of retrieving a signal this will happened or such many interference that could decrease the signal. i checked my e72 by covering the antenna i loose 3 bars if I'm in a bad area. however, when there is big space, no interference, and great reception i have full throttling bars even i cover it with my both hands. STEVE JOBS made an embarrassing move apple it's getting worse.

                      For those who claim that the Iphone 4 antenna issue is ridiculouse and it is all being blow out by the media, well tests say otherwise, when gripped in the left hand Download speed and upload speeds are flat 0 !

                      And for those who claim that the bumper will solve the issue, think again, because it just helps a bit but still its affecting the upload speeds dramaticly.

                      For my proof watch the test and lets see what u have to say about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTFR1WjCQSY&feature=related

                      Apple Iphone 4 Antenna Issue CONFIRMED.

                                  Steve Jobs has come to the pout of being desperate. I have used both the Nokia N97 mini and Samsung Omnia and did not experience drop in calls, or drop in signals, at the very least using the simulated deah grip.

                                  For a company like Apple, this is low. They should probably hire a new P.R. team.

                                    These all should be settled in court. Right...Nokia? RIM? HTC? Samsung?

                                      Two wrongs don't make a right.
                                      It's like when a teacher scolds a boy for not doing his homework, boy responds by saying, " check others out, they also seems to have not done their homework right, so why scolding only me". That boy is Steve and we are back in school age. Happy hunting guys... so who's next ?

                                        Looks like Apple wants to play the blame game and take it in the ass from all other phone companies!

                                        Who the hell holds the phone like that anyways? You're probably covering the mic at the bottom and going for the antenna which is located at the bottom of the phone!?!? Nice try!
