In a statement, Apple said: "Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas."


Hmmmm......I've owned a good amount of phones and never had this problem yet COMPLETE FUCKING SIGNAL LOST YOU DUMB FUCK.

Yeah, a buddy just got it and showed me that. If you put your finger over one spot, you can literally watch your signal drop out.

Once again, Apple fails at life.

Umm...have you seen the lines outside Apple stores for this phone? I'd hardly call the massive amount of cash they're raking in a fail...

I was at the dmv friday and watched some girl drop hers, and destroyed the screen.

My old t mobile wing fell off my bike at 70 and got a small scratch, didnt even loose the battery cover.

From a distance it looked pretty shattered, I tried to get a picture but the girl ran off crying

tell her there's an app for that too :lol:

The problem is thought to be particularly acute for left-handed owners who naturally touch the phone in the sensitive area.


Since this thing is definitely under the age of 18: Paging Chris Hanson...

Sounds like that outer metal band/antenna needs a clear powder coat.

All you need is a case like apple used to test the thing.

My wife had the first Iphone and now the 3GS as well as I have the 3gs. The metal band around the face of the phone is said antennae and we have no problems with signal loss. Just goes to show that like cars even electronics, Don't get the first run of the product or new version of said product.
