Apple squeezes the reception out of Nokia N97 mini Comments

This is ridiculous. You iPhone fans are ridiculous. Jobs lacks maturity, & is behaving like a child who didn't get what they wanted.
How many different ways can it be said? It is this simple:
All phones will experience some degree of attenuation...BUT, the iPhone4 experiences it so badly, that the signal COMPLETELY drops, & reverts to "Searching for service".
At any point during any one of Jobs' pathetic experiment, did anyone see any of the mobiles he tested revert to "Searching for Service"???
That's what I thought.
Now take your over-priced iPod, hook it up to that piece of junk of malware, iTunes, & try & drown out your contempt.

Gosh you're so silly. You think it's not fair when your nokia device is held the wrong way, but you think it is when the ip4 is held the wrong way.

Anonymous, 21 Jul 2010Read Apple's financial reports so you would know how much money the iphone has brought in for ... morestill doesn't matter cause you still have to consider the fact that the iphone and ipad 3g are sold on contracts and not really unlocked like most other companies
3year term + iphone(locked)= 3000
plan + nokia(unlocked)=2000
the fact as well that nokia doesn't subsidize their phones is the thing that stands part
you must look at all these factors as well

Do you really handle your phones like that?
Again, no one's saying that attenuation doesn't exist here. You're grasping for straws.

Reality distortion field (RDF) is a term coined by Bud Tribble at Apple Computers in 1981, to describe it's effect on Nerds. Later the term has also been used to refer to perceptions of his keynote (or Stevenote) by observers and devoted users of any products apart from Apples'
Bud Tribble claimed that the term came from Star Trek.
In essence, RDF is the idea that nerds are able to convince themsevles and others to believe almost any bad rumours or conspiracy theories made up about Apple. RDF is said to distort an audience's sense of proportion or scales. Small advances are accused as copying. Interesting developments become faults, or huge leaps backwards. Snap judgments about technical merits without any facts available are usually utilised. Those who use the term RDF contend that it is not an example of outright deception but more a case of warping the powers of judgment. The term "audience" may refer to an individual who a rival company is hoping to affect.
The term was assumed by a few nerds to be a derogatory remark, to criticize Apple's products and its more enthusiastic fans, but this is just a fallacy made up by the nerds themselves, who, envious of the media coverage and popularity of Apple's products, unknowingly became victim to RDS themselves.
The term has extended in fanboydom to other phone owners and fanboys, who try to convince people that Apple is evil, and that the huge success of it's products is irrelevent, sometimes without regard to the overall facts in question.
Success breeds contempt.

Ryan4Nokia, 21 Jul 2010Apple isnt exposing a truth they are throwing a smoke screen to cover their A$$es ... The are ... moreThen how come none of them denied Apple's statement about attenuation being a common issue with all phones? And as been said a lot of times already, ip4 users are making and receiving calls just fine, and it even has better reception and call quality than the 3gs with lesser dropped call rates. So you are wrong in saying that there's a dropped calls issue, when at&t's report shows an insignificant number of dropped calls for the ip4.

[deleted post]They could say the same about Nokia and it's millions and millions of handset sales that are brought up, when someone talks about how many iphones have sold.
Apple have done well, and congratulations to them. It's funny reading comments on here that say "Apple are Doooooomed" whilst in the face of those figures.

Apple only did it to prove that attenuation exists. But ironically, attenuation (as well as de-tuning)is easier to achieve on their phone.

not me :(Are your hands touching the antenna gap at the bottom of the phone? That might be the reason why you are dropping bars and calls.
I don't think there will be a fix for your phone, as you have the de-tuning problem, as well as the attenuation. You should send your phone back.

Guy, 21 Jul 2010Your phones are ok because the antenna's aren't easily accessible. If you grip the phone reall... morebut no one grips their phones like that
it was just after how steve jobs told every iphone4 user they are holding it the wrong why everyone has been trying out the death grip on their phones
which is hilarious
and how everyone mostly holds the phone is where the antenna on the iphone 4 is being covered unless you have a bluetooth or wired headset
