For the record, I sat here with my iPhone 4 and tried my best to get it to degrade the signal, holding it every way I can think of, one hand, two hand, two hand and a dog paw, I wasn't able to reproduce it.

I am pretty sure if you use the force to hover the phone near your ear it won't drop calls, that's why he never noticed it Tac…

Why should we have to buy a case, if everyone seems to need a case . . . shouldn't that be a feature? Why are we happy having to purchase something to cover a flaw. Oh, and this isn't just an iPhone issue, any product taht basically requires the purchase of an accessory to function is kind of lame.

I hold my phone in my hand, not just with my fingers so I'm less likely to drop it. I wasn't aware each phone had it's own appropriate way to hold it.

My mistake. Still doesn't help me out since I have more computers than that. Why shouldn't I be able to have all of my music that I paid for on all of my computers? I own them all and I paid for the music? I'm not pirating it or ripping it for anyone, it's my hardware and my music what's the big deal?

I'm not sure why you'd hold your phone like it's a Nextel push to talk phone or a CB radio but okay and at least you're upfront about wher your bread is buttered but the authorization is just wrong. THere is NO LIMIT to the number of authorized devices – you can load 1000 ipod/iphone/ipads, etc with the exact same music, movie, tv show, app etc, etc … the ONLY limit is how many computers can be authorized on ONE ITUNES account – and that's 5 – if you forget to deauthorize a computer you sold or got rid of – it's hard to believe but you can email Apple or call them, I know you might not beliee it but true or just as difficult, start a NEW ITUNES account. So, you are wrong or just trying to divert the issue.

While you're at it – maybe you should ask your client why their new phone leaves files in the OS that can never be deleted including passwords and other logins … or that 1 in 5 android apps can be considered trojans – but hey, you want a free for all, that's what you get for a free OS.

I don't like cases. It just doesn't feel right all wrapped up in protective gear

I for one have never dropped my phone, but I guess you probably increase your chances when you can only hold certain parts of the phone.

So let's review. Drop the uncased iPhone on concrete affection breaks. Bitch about how handling it affects the signal level or at least the display of it. Notice the yellowing caused by glue that isn't even dry yet because they can't even let product sit still long enough to cure properly due to demand.

Why is it people don't use cases again? Can't we bitch about something real like network capacity or the lack of an official hot spot feature?

Bumper cases seem to fix the issue. Nearly everyone I know has some form of a protective case around their phone. While I agree that this is a design flaw that should be fixed, the workaround seems to be simple and something that users would all do anyway.

Apple does suck for many many reasons, but I'm not believing that the iPhone4 is one of them.
