I offered my non professional, non expert opinion early on the first huge thread at Apple's forums when the antenna issues first came to light. It was kinda funny how there were/are two camps of thought. One, like mine, has maintained steadfastly that no amount of s/w trickery can overcome the external, touchable-antenna reception issue. The other, dreamily believes Apple's PR nonsense that a s/w update will fix the problem with reception. I've still got some bridges here and there to sell those folks. why they don't just take the fool phones back for refund is beyond me. (Not that many wiser folks didn't do just that already).Now that's some funny ****e...
Apple panicked at all the anger directed towards them over the issue, and deleted countless posts in the antenna issue threads.07-12-10 04:12 PM - I hear ya, got a friend who's a "jobs" disciple and he lives and breathes apple and he's stuck in the dreamstate as well that a software update is gonna fix, he even posted on Facebook that he didn't see what all the fuss was about, just get a bumper and wala, problem solved was his exact quote, course I commented to him that if he thinks a software update is gonna fix it, then could he come by this weekend to go over some "stocks" I wanted to sell him. Of course I had to add that his posting on FB was spoken like a "true disciple", think I pissed him off a bit, but I don't care. If he wants to live in an "wormy Apple core" then go ahead.07-12-10 05:34 PM
- "Tests were conducted in a room designed to eliminate radio- frequency interference, he said. The results showed that when a user covers the lower-left side gap, where two pieces of the external antenna meet, the loss of signal strength may cause the iPhone 4 to drop calls in areas where AT&T Inc.�s network coverage is weak."
Isn't that EVERYWHERE with AT&T?

So the iPhone if handled without a case, has antenna issues. Yup. I haven't noticed it because I had a case since the moment I got it. Big deal. Works great.
Yes Dave. You have been expounding how terrible the iPhone is all along. This builds your manhood I guess. The iPhone is just a phone. Great display, pretty good apps, and a wonderful interface. I like it, just like I have and still like the Storm.
Now if you guys that are bashing the iPhone really want to go up against a competitor, try going up against the Droid, especially the X. The Storm has already lost against the iPhone (in sales numbers). Just look at this forum, not near what it was a year ago.07-12-10 07:04 PM - It is and it isn't a big deal. Yeah it's ugly but atleast there is an actual solution to the problem. For the Storm, I've yet to see a solution from RIM to improve on the issues that plagued the phone. Storm2 is ok but it still has it's fair share of issues. The only gripe I have is, is that the company that boasts about their products doesn't make up for any of the problems that came with the phone. There's no solutions to the problems. That's the beef I have with BBs anymore. I just feel that if I buy another BB I have to just hope for the best. That just doesn't sound right considering how much these things cost. I know I find that behavior to be pretty disheartening
. I just wish my S2 would work just as well as my Curve did.
