The Verdict is Out: iPhone 4 has design flaws
- Don't know where u live, but here in san jose, everyone we know with an iPhone HATES the dropped calls. What good is decent hardware (something I won't concede to, at this point, given all the issues with the i4--proximity sensor, reception, etc.) if it's tied to a subpar carrier??07-13-10 01:48 AMLike 0
- So is it true that behind every apple or at&t stores, they have a signal booster hidden? so when u test out the Gspot of ip4 signal will remain high as ever!?

Steve said Rim phones also have antenna or signal issue, I took his advice and tape my storm2 all round! Signal indeed is better and improving! Wow! I feel like my storm2 is almost 4g now especially with the iphone theme installed.
Okies time for dinner! Have fun!

- I shouldn't have to name them because I know you know them right off the bat, but just to humor you:
1. Problem with parts of phone not clicking
2. Parts of phone doing multiple clicks
3. When typing, for some reason it'll hit a letter clear across on the other side without touching it? This one was always weird.
4. Constantly fails to play videos
5. Requires multiple battery pulls
List goes on. Never had these problems with my Curve. That's why I think I'll dump the Storm when my 2 years is up. Way too much hassle and no OS update is going to fix these problems.
And I'm not saying my friends represent the world. Don't have to be so defensive. I'm not personally attacking you. I believe that while many phones have their issues I can tell there are many that work the way they should. And I'd rather have a bumper on my phone and be done with the problem than be riddled with issues that can't ever be resolved.Last edited by DMR6186; 07-13-10 at 07:30 AM.

Granted that no phone is perfect and the original Storm had its fair share of issues. RIM never (to the best of my knowledge) gave such ridiculous excuses.
Comparing original Storm (2008) to current iPhone 4 (2010) is unfair. Mobile technology has been advancing in faster rate than you can keep up. But for the problem you listed:
1-3: Your phone may be defective. I will change it if I were you. Or better get a Storm 2. It has none of those issues.
4. Make sure you have the right video format. Each device have formats they support. For instance, while Storm can play MPEG4 and WMV formats, the iPhone 4 cannot.
5.Storm 2 does not except on Software updates or new App installation (most devices do this, not a BB OS issue).07-13-10 08:13 AMLike 0 - pcgizmo#IMCrackBerry Ph.D."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?07-13-10 10:04 AMLike 0 - I shouldn't have to name them because I know you know them right off the bat, but just to humor you:

My storm needs no bumper, need not be held in any particular fashion, NEVER misses or loses a call, and has NO unresolved issues. None. Nada. Zilch. Hope I made myself clear.07-13-10 03:19 PMLike 0 - You claim that you listed those 5 issues to humor another member. Plus you claim he should be aware of those issues. that's hilarious. I don't have ANY of the 5 issues you just listed.

In case your brain is not functioning well today, I'll spell it out for you: The poster wrote, "I shouldn't have to name them because I know you know them right off the bat, but just to humor you:" To which I replied (in essence) that the recipient of his comments didn't necessarily have ANY of the faults the poster just enumerated.Last edited by dave1812; 07-15-10 at 02:48 PM.

US Senator Hammers iPhone 4 Antenna Problem In Letter to Steve Jobs07-15-10 03:11 PMLike 0 - He said pretty much what many customers want apple to do (but with Steve Jobs at the helm, it's tough for Apple to do the right thing because he is not only a control freak, but he is also dismissive of others ideas. If a thought doesn't come directly from the springboard of his mind, he's not interested. he will never capitulate. just watch, tomorrow)
It would have been better to have someone else outside Steve Jobs address the press conference tomorrow.07-16-10 04:25 AMLike 0 - Wall Street Journal reported on the Morning Read (Audible) this morning Apple engineers knew about the antenna problems but their beloved leader (Jobs) overrode them because he liked the design.
Will the Apple board ever dump that fool?07-16-10 07:25 AMLike 0 - The whole Apple press conference is a joke. I thought RIM recent conference was lame but Apple is more lame. And they dare to use other smart phone as example of their unique "death grip" issue. Did they hire the guy who sing the fanboy song? Beating around the bushes without answering some of the questions but keep saying they love the consumer and now bribing the consumer with a free bumper and rebate or refund. Best of all denying all the earlier statements and ignoring the fact about the fix or update they promised.
I really love apple in some ways. I hope they continue to give out the free bumper forever till ip4 come to EOL. Wahahaha.Last edited by titusilvering; 07-16-10 at 03:05 PM.

He claims that EVERY phone has the antenna attenuation issue with certain grip. Audaciously mentioned BB 9700, HTC Eris and HTC HD2 to prove his point (although there were no videos, just slides). I have tried to grab my S2 in all kinds of manner but couldn't find the 'the Spot'.07-16-10 08:44 PMLike 0
- Read a post from engaget. Interestingly, nokia is the only phone maker with "balls" to make a statement with hidden agenda to laugh at apple claim that all phones have antenna issue. Nokia said they are a connecting people company and if to make a choice between phone design and antenna, they prefer giving consumer a phone without reception problem!
I wonder if rim, samsung, htc, motor and etc will make any statement on their phone antenna design?
Its no wonder that nokia is still world no.1 most own mobile phone.
