It's just the iPhone 4 that has some serious HARDWARE issues. Nothing else. Now stop denying that it's an issue and accept that it affects 100% of all iPhone 4 users. It's hardware.
Just because people don't want to admit that their lovable hype-phone could possibly be flawed in some way is giving Apple even more credit than it deserves.
The next iPhone will feature a gray-scale Retina display. Sorry, ran out of color - ah well, they'll buy it. It's an iPhone.

Well, I'm sorry but as a consumer I just want the best my money can buy, and that is not the iphone, I'm sorry. The companies should work for the real people not the other way...

If it's up to the end-user to patch and fix the product, then drop the price and be done with it. If I get it for 50% less, I'll find my own genius way to MAKE it work.
That's hardly the point. You can't screw up a product this bad and then pretend nothings happened. I mean, it's pure physics that are going on there. You're shorting out an antenna - not merely covering it.
If the entire metal case is already an antenna, why would that little tiny corner lead to 90% signal loss?

200 Million copies of Windows Vista were sold worldwide, but it's statistically one of the worst Microsoft operating systems ever released, and even it's users know that.

I have a samsung galaxy s and I was seriously going to ditch my galaxy and go buy the iphone 4 with a capped data plan vs my unlimited data I already have. How dumb and ignorant would that decision have been lol. I would be going backwards in technology. Well I guess theres always next year apple lmao.

S of people there well educated they are not fools who come in swarms and pile up and stand-in cues at the apple store just to get a hand on their iPhone.iPhone 4 is a revolutionary product with the pest screen display the best and most applications the I books and the best 5mp camera we've ever seen .there is only a minor problem on the bottom left and the complaint rate is 0.55% it's not a big issue and people are still ordering them it's still out of stock this can only show that how amazing product is the iPhone 4. Everybody knows that iPhones got the best sensivity a phone is ever seen or experienced.the iPhones are not perfect(no flash,no external memory card support ,little bit problem in antenna,)it's not perfect but it's the best smartphone in the market still you have to believe it and all the fans and statistics are in favour of it

I was hoping the iPhone 4 would be an improvement, but I guess not. What were Apple thinking in using a metal antenna strip? Bling over function. :P
