I absolutely agree with you. The basic function of a phone is to make calls. But I'm just trying to make it clear that if you use the iPhone 4, you WON'T see a difference in call quality or reception. The iPhone 4 has a noise cancelling feature which actually improves the sound quality. If all other phones had perfect reception and quality, that would be something, but we all know that is not true. All phones have problems. People are pissed off with Apple because they pretend that the iPhone is perfect (sometimes I get pissed with Apple as well for the same reason.) It is NOT perfect but honestly I still say it beats other competitors.
LOL at the USB catching fire! Yeah I heard about that. That was just a one off thing which may happen to any phone (again it's only highlighted because it's an iPhone!) But I agree, they should look into the proximity sensor problem if there is one.

John, 21 Jul 2010Did you guys notice that the signal bar is showing with 3.5... moreI agree with you, sir. Nokia handsets only show 3.5G signal when connected to the internet, otherwise such capability isn't required. So there could be something wrong in these videos.

What WRONG with u ppl! Apple made mistake, they came out solutions and u still not happy? Return it. I glad Apple give this type of service. Look at NOKIA, for many years No1 in this industry making lousy phone. And they don't event care abt their loyal customers feedback. Nokia LAG, HANG and BUGGY. They stuff in the best hardware but giving the worst performance. Do they answer to public why their phone hang, solution coming soon? NO! No! NO! their customer care even teach ppl to remove battery to clear freeze screen. May be NOKIA ROYAL FANs think that's the correct way to reboot their phone.

In psychology, Apple's state is called "megalomania".

By showing that others also have something similar (for sure not as much as Apple) is not going to make Apple's design right. Even if all smartphone manufacturers have same problem, it is not right to drop calls because user is holding it in his/her most comfortable position. A phone is supposed to serve primary functionality of making calls. If you can't serve it recall and correct them.
By trying this kind of things is not going to help Apple's brand name. These are cheap tactics to escape your major hardware design flaw.

Yeah agree with that. I actually saw a YouTube video like that before I even bought the phone. I agee, it is a design flaw. Apple are not admitting it, but I'm sure their design department are totally kicking themselves for the design. And I'm sure the design will change next year. But all I'm saying is, if you buy the iPhone 4 you honestly will not realize the difference. And I'm being extremely open minded here. You may try for hours to replicate the problem and you may see some bars go down, but to be honest...you guys will hardly experience dropped calls or bad reception. And if you do occasionally, this happens with all phones!

Shutup pls.., 21 Jul 2010If iphone sux, why 1 week will have 3m ppl purchase it.. No... moreForever? symbian have been much better than Ios,(for average users at least)
Maemo for over average users, beats Ios hands down, function wise and eye candy
Meego should give you the eye candy ur looking for.... and an UI that under average users can understand(hopefully atleast, since the term user friendy these days means Kinder garden friendly)

That kind of comparison is the same as:
"Ok, mine is rubbish, but so it´s yours! I´m gonna call my mamma, now!"
The thing is that other manufacturers have tons of different NEW models with more or less the same specs, whereas Apple relies only on 1 NEW model. When you develop those tons of models, it´s much more easy to make some mistakes from time to time. But Apple had only one model to test. And did it wrong.
When it comes to the percentage of 'under development products' x 'critical failures', Apple has managed a pretty respectable 100% under the Iphone 4 development period, and that´s what we can call impressive.

what Apple have done to other manufacturers is very irritating, why don't they just solve the problem of the users instead of pointing out other units with the same problem with the iphone4?
what they're doing is a "very immature act".
love my "Nokia 7500 Prism".. ^_^

Plus, they were aware of the issue and decided to ignore it and release the phone anyway (fact!). You’re sounding just as desperate as Apple."
LOL.. yeah I know and I agree..the way Apple handled the issue to the media was pathetic! But I'm not talking about that dude. That's more the PR people. I'm talking about the customer service (as in when you call them, the sales people, the people in the Apple flagship stores etc). I have dealt with customer service with so many companies and have NEVER had a problem with Apple. Maybe it's just my luck!

what the hell is apple trying to prove.......are they trying to prove that all other companys mobiles have same problem that they have....and steve it would be better if you would try to solve the reception problem rather than criticizing other manufacturers.......and yes unlike iphone 4 nokia doesent have so much heated reception issue.....and i personally own nokia n97.....and it doesent loose so much signal bars......it looses only two bars........shame on you apple.......for doing such bullshit........if you want to prove yourself ...than capture a video of reception in your own iphone4 than....that might work.......................personally iliked iphone but after this statement..........i feel ashamed////////
