It's like the iPhone's airhole.

On a serious note that response is kind of unacceptable. I personally don't care I guess tho.

Personally, with all the phones I've ever had, I never cupped/cuddled/rested the bottom of the phone into my hand like what I saw bloggers do to create/reproduce the reception issue. My hand is always closer to the top, gripping the sides to make sure the speaker lines up with my ear.... am I alone?]]>Jun 24th 2010 8:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/Jun 24th 2010 8:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/
It ain't the iPhone, it's the user. Some people have to be properly taught the correct method of holding an iPhone 4. It's like a fine woman that needs to be held tenderly in order to respond. I can imagine some of you ham-fisted barbarians holding onto the iPhone 4 like it was a can of Budweiser. ]]>Jun 24th 2010 8:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/

they'll probably do something out of their way to make it up to everyone. Reading that makes me think he was trying to be sarcastic or funny, because the only other explanation ends with him getting assasinated by the mother land....

For all you people who spent all day refreshing the Apple store webpage trying to get a preorder through, or stood in line for 3 days to be the first kid on your block to have the shiniest new toy: this is your fault.

Now it's your responsibility to set it right by voting with your wallet.

I love how he put in a nice little aside saying, "nice work" and talking about how he loves it and Jobs is still a douche to him. It's like an eager kid telling dad, "I love the new fireplace but I think there's a problem..." and dad coldly responding with "I don't care. You're probably doing something wrong" as meanwhile the house catches fire.]]>Jun 24th 2010 8:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/Jun 24th 2010 8:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/Jun 24th 2010 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/Jun 24th 2010 8:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/apple-responds-over-iphone-4-reception-issues-youre-holding-th/You guys know what this means?

I agree, people need to stop just giving into these things and do something. If they don't then they only have themselves to blame. Imagine if everyone that had a problem returned their phone, I'm sure "bumpers" (spacers) would begin turning up as "You receive a FREE bumper with your iPhone purchase! Pick any cool color! (colour)" Then a month or two down the road hey all of a sudden there is some coating on the metal or the antenna has been re-designed.
