Apple squeezes the reception out of Nokia N97 mini

21 July, 2010
Apple seem keen to prove other smartphones have the same reception attenuation as the iPhone 4. And they are getting back with a video of Nokia N97 mini that suffers from the same grip of death as the iPhone...

    NO, THIS CANT BE TRUE, APPLE CAN'T HAVE MADE A PROFIT

    Steve Jobs has surely brainwashed over 3 million people!11 I have seen it!1 The iphone 4 emits microwave signals that take over brains and FORCE the people to buy the device. It's like the Siren song for sailors. Right now, 3 million more people are being lured in! There's no other explanation! The talk of satisfied customers is a lie!1!

    There's a simple test to perform to find out if a member of your family is converted. They don't complain. They don't brag about the specs on their phone. They dress well. They are mature.

            1) Every iphone 4 user experiences dropped calls.
            2) The antenna issue is such a huge problem, that Apple will go under.

            4) Apple steals from other phone manufacturers

                  Oh yeah, people are sheep. Yawn.

                  I also love the generalisation of iphone 4 users, as though EVERY user has loss of signal.

                  You people are the ones that are dumb. Steve Jobs got where he is through being a good businessman. You just wish you were as successful.

                  But you don't listen do you, I think it is you that has RDF, not the iphone users. :))))

                                      the Samsung Wave is having the same problem like the nokia from the Video. I have a Samsung Wave and i perform the same test as in the video and the signal bar droped .Soo maybe all the manufactures will consider to do something about it or put up for free upgreads for the softwares of this phones to resolve the problem. I have also a nokia and the signal is stronger than Samsung Wave
