      Why would Apple release the phone if the problem still existed? I hope this doesn't happen on the iphone5.

          t's disappointing to see the new release of one of the best selling smartphones in the world has the same unresolved issue from last year.

                      Bricked, 28 Feb 2011It's a non issue. The whole Antennagate has been overblown ... moreyou better check your N8 hasn't frozen up.

                      btw what does a phone sitting on a desktop have to do with holding it?

                        they found this out a after the announcement XD that's why verison doesn't want people ordering the iphone 4 LOL cause there are obvious problems with it and i even knew where would be more problems LOL

                        they need to redesign the whole phone so stealing peoples money with a slight the same phone with slight cut piece of metal inside

                          This issue "ll never get solved unless Apple comes out with a design change. I guess they got 2 rework their antenna placements, well before they even contemplate bringing out a new version.

                            [deleted post]I am sorry to say but Apple has set the stage for all this, we wouldn't be here with Jobs vision whether you like to admit it, it's fact!!! If you think iPhones or any other device is not suitable to you then look away and find another competitor, a competitor that is following what Apple has done already.

                            Be respectful to the visionary that created so many opportunities for all of us. Because of Steve Jobs a lot people have jobs and dreams to fulfill and that's another fact.

                            Just a reminder...

                                    a whole company make an year of attempting to make ONLY JUST one phone and design it that is not a new design actually they only improve their previous design and the little change the make to redesign cause antenna issue, that's a big shame
                                    other company like samsung make hundreds of new phones with new design every year and non of them got such issue, this is innovation, improvement and technology
