The reason that most companies have moved the antenna to the bottom of the phone is that it is moving it a little bit further away from the user's brain and isn't about reception.

One thing that surprises me with this whole thing is learning that so many people use their phone in their main hand, if I am on the phone then I am far more likely to hold it in my left hand since I can write notes, use a mouse etc with my right hand.

There are two antennas in fact. One for cellular signal, GSM and other stuff, other for WiFi, bluetooth. The antennas meet in lover left corner and at the top of the phone. So, if you hold phone naturally in your left hand (just like Steve Jobs held it several times during the presentation, while poking with right index finger on screen) your palm comes into contact with the thin gap between two antennas and you short-circuit the two antennas and drop a bar or two if the reception was not good to begin with. I just do not understand what a "Bumper" is. I thought, that according to description, it was a simple rubber (or perhaps plastic) band running around the edge of phone. It that is so, how is it possible that a strip of rubber, or whatever material it is costs $30? I am really confused. Are Americans really willing to pay 30 hard earned, honest dollars for a flimsy piece of rubber with an Apple logo that contains $0.2 worth of material and $0.8 worth of labor? Another thing that somebody needs to explain to me is: what the hell is a "dropped call"? I have been using mobile phones here in Europe for a long time and when you make a call, anywhere, anytime here you stay connected until you finish the call. Period.

I'm right-handed and use my left hand and left ear for the phone. Likewise I look thhrough my DSLR's viewfinder using my left eye... at least I consistently favour my left. I also have socialist tendencies... I wonder if that's all related? |

Scott,
My original post got lost in the usual BS Apple hate. What I wanted to know is if you as an iPhone 4 owner, and one who actually had the problem...... Are you satisfied with the OFFICAL Apple response? |
