I can lose cell reception "bars" if I hold it "wrong", though. No dropped calls yet.

If I don't think about it it will probably be fine.]]>Jun 25th 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/

GOOD ONE Josh, ]]>Jun 25th 2010 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/
Except that's how Apple told us to hold it: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/hey-apple-youre-holding-it-wrong/

My brother's iPhone 4 seems to get markedly worse reception than my 3GS. The wifi signal is much worse than my 3GS when we are the same distance from the base station. It's too early to say about dropped calls though...]]>Jun 25th 2010 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/

Question #1: what stands a higher chance of shattering if dropped from their current position - the glasses on SJ's head or the phone he is holding with his specially glued fingers?

Question #2: is this a proof that SJ approves wearing rings on fingers and it is safe, and the iP4 is not going to shatter if an iSheep accidentally bumps his/her ring finger into the phone?]]>Jun 25th 2010 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/

I purposefully tried to make mine lose reception by holding it the "wrong way" and doing everything that is supposedly an issue.

Of course the iPhone 4 is the hot topic...fanboy or hater or don't really care aside...not saying that Fallon is running scientific test, but he is someone who travels the same route almost every single day in NYC (one of AT&T's worst locations) so his test does have credibility...]]>Jun 26th 2010 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/

1.5 M people just bought the iPhone in 1 day! If this were a real issue we'd have a stampede of complaints. It's not like the Nexus One where 20K sold in a week or even the EVO where 60k were sold at launch. The magnitude of the iPhone launch means a critical problem like this cannot be covered up by Engadget.

At least try and think rationally.]]>Jun 25th 2010 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/I disagree, they've both gone to shit.

Where I work in Michigan, I had horrible signal strength with my 3G. I am getting a better fast signal with the iPhone 4.

My signal bars do drop when I "hold my phone wrong" though. However, call quality stays the same while holding incorrectly.]]>Jun 25th 2010 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/
If the iPhone dedicates more power to the antenna broadcast to compensate for low power at the cell tower, won't that mean higher radiation levels next to your head (or crotch, if you use bluetooth)?

3GS = .79 SAR
4 = 1.17 SAR

(Not that 1.17 is high - it's not - but still...1.17 is a big jump over .79)]]>Jun 25th 2010 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/

You'd have to be a fanboy to keep using a "phone" that can't make calls (or drops them constantly). Part of the reason I love my G1 so much is that I've never had a dropped call on it, but if right out of the box it started dropping calls you better believe I'd return it and not keep it and say how great a "phone" I have that can't even make calls...]]>Jun 25th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/the-jimmy-fallon-test-is-the-iphone-4-dropping-less-calls/Jun 25th 2010 1:44PM
