iPhone Conference
Greeners:
I think Apples response to the 'problem' is a load of bollox!! Oh yes the antenna design is crap so we'll give a free bit of crap rubber to go around the phone which renders any other type of case for it useless!! :fighting: :fighting:
Shocking to put it mildly, I've just shelled out £500 for a flawed design which the makers are stating doesn't work properly!! Don't know how they can get away with it! :angry015:

As Apple have proved this happens with ANY smartphone. So I think it's a bit harsh to say there response is crap.
I linked the video to the conference in another thread where they show the same problem on a Blackberry, Samsung & HTC.
This whole thing in my opinion has been blown out of proportion by the Anti-Apple brigade. They have chosen to just highlight the iPhone as having the problem and neglecting other phones with the same problem.
Putting the bumper on reduces the problem - that's a scientific fact proven by Apple and a no. of other tech review magazines. So I actually think its pretty good of Apple to give everyone a free bumper at a estimated cost of $183m to them. You don't see that from Nokia, Samsung, Blackberry, HTC etc.
You don't have to use a bumper you can use any case that covers the area in question.
Just my opinion of course. :smiley:

I am tempted to be honest Shaun, but the only other phone I would consider would be the 3GS..................
no golf clubs at all:
I think, as I got mine at launch, it would be safer to take it back now then wait for a fix. It is an issue. Just don't go near the apple support forums and say so :-) they will abuse you like a purty boy in a ho down sauna.
