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...

Other phones might have the same problem. But they are also a lot cheaper than the Iphone

    Why Apple aren't accepting the problem? simply because they don't want to loose their profits, they love money and only care about that..

    Why iPhone fans aren't accepting that iphone has a problem? Simply because they don't like the idea of thinking that they have wasted BIG amount of money on a Sh*t product. Instead of accepting the reality, they prefer living in the dream world....

      That's disgusting! Apple should focus on solving their own problem.
      What's the point on showing that other phones have reception problems too? People CHOSE iPHONE 4, not Nokia or Samsung! Apple must fix the antenna problem, period! Stop being obnoxious Steve Jobs!! Customers are paying a lot for your products, they deserve to be treated with respect!

        steve jobs is one foolish man!!! i hv a nokia x6, i tried holding it tightly in every which way possible, not a single bar drop!! wht does apple think, people will run to nokia stores to get a replacement coz of this stupid video!! well nokia wont lose anythng, at the most people will try squeezing their nokia phones n wont notice any change in the signal bars n at the end of the day it will b proved tht apple is liar, cheater, fraud!! n nokia once again will turn out to b a much much better company..
        and plus it will repel people who were planning to go for this phone otherwise, coz obviously when one tries too hard to hide somethng, u knw thers a problem.. n ethics is somethng tht u cannot forget if ur sucha big company..
        it wld hv been better had apple accepted the flaw n tried solving the issue.. whn nokia phones hv probs, nokia doesnt pick up an iphone 3g n start showing how stupid apple is!! well it works on the prob, n thts is why it has been running ahead in this race fr years, n simply looking at this picture, apple will b outta the phone market vry soon.. forgotten!!

          Steve jobs is a very desperate man... hence the dissing and no fixing.. tut tut how sad

          Anyway, apart from the apps and slick OS (was slick 3 yrs ago.... look pretty dull, and wow!! they got wallpaper... they are moving on lol)

          what else does the iphone offer?? can any 5heeps i meant fanboys give me 5 more reasons (not cosmetic wise or app software) what make this phone so amazing, powerful, magical, revolutionary, a MUST HAVE product.... please enlighten me ;)

          my first mobile was an analogue and i used to work for one of Europe's biggest mobile company... No BS pls, cos i know my product :)

                        Anonymous, 23 Jul 2010Again, it's not ip4 users who made a big deal of this anten... morei think its very very lame to compare human beings to a mobile phone... right?????

                        i also think that if there is another mobile company that has "reception" issues, the media would be breathing on thier necks, just like whats hapening to apple iphone4..but the fact of the matter is no other company has this GRAVE OF A MISTAKE for the media to really "warn" the public....right????

                        what are you thinking, media all around the world is stupid???

                        no..no..

                        we think you are.... LOL!!!

                          I've good advise for Apple and Steve Jobs

                          I think Apple should create a new department in their company call Discovery.

                          The duty of that department should be to DISCOVER all the features which are available in other Cell phone for 5,6 years and also DISCOVER the problems in other mobiles.... How Good is that ;-)

                              The problem is that Apple only launched 4 cell phone models uptill now, and with some S**t features ofcourse, plus at a price like they have made a phone which have all the features in the world. such a dumb As* company and thinks that they are pioneers in cell phones and they have invented all the features. problem is that these features were available on other phones so much long ago. And Now they are blaming others much experienced Manufacturers for having the problem too.
                              i think we should call it another REVOLUTIONARY DISCOVERY by APPLE... everyone Applause :D

                                    Anonymous, 23 Jul 2010Steve did say that Apple is not perfect, and that the iphon... moreMy problem is that Jobs is trying to say that other phones have the same problem as the iPhone 4 which is not the case. The iP4 loses signal if you simply touch it in the wrong spot. Other phones need to be grasped tightly with the hand before it loses signal. If he simply acknowledged that the iP4's issue can be resolved with a case which the will provide for free and left it at that, I would have no problem. His trying to paint the entire industry as having the same issue which is not the case is the problem I have.

                                        The iPhone is getting a handful of features other phones
                                        have had for ages — basic things like multitasking, wallpapers,
                                        folders, and a unified inbox.
                                        But because they’re now being done by Apple, these features are all
                                        “amazing,” “really wonderful,” “incredibly great” and “delightful.”
                                        ...Maybe even revolutionary.
                                        Why? Because Steve Jobs just said so, that’s why.
                                        Now applaud, damn it. And act impressed.

                                        took this from an article... isnt this true? what Apple has been doing
