Apple haters can't say much. Despite the small glitches, people like myself can't buy iPhones because it's all sold out.

I am not worried about the antenna problem because Apple will issue a software fix for it. Plus, its not like you can't fix it now yourself by either holding it properly or buy a bumper.

Keep hating folks because the vast majority of iPhone 4 owners are happy. Oh and it's sold out.]]>Jun 28th 2010 8:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/apple-sells-1-7-million-iphone-4s-through-satruday-june-26/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/apple-sells-1-7-million-iphone-4s-through-satruday-june-26/they dumped a bunch of numbers into one pile making it meaningless.]]>Jun 28th 2010 9:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/apple-sells-1-7-million-iphone-4s-through-satruday-june-26/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/apple-sells-1-7-million-iphone-4s-through-satruday-june-26/Jun 28th 2010 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/apple-sells-1-7-million-iphone-4s-through-satruday-june-26/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/apple-sells-1-7-million-iphone-4s-through-satruday-june-26/Lol - WOW - I can't believe how any comment that is even remotely related to the truth about the iPhone's problems are downranked.

It's really sad. There's nothing wrong with having a different preference. But calling other people idiots, sheep etc., just because their priorities and preferences are different doesn't make sense at all.

Basically what most of the comments on this post are saying (at least this is how I read it) is that, "hey I bought an android phone! I hate you all because you bought an iPhone. That'd be only about 2 million of you. I'm smart and 2 million of you are fools, who don't know what a good phone is"

Now that really tells me who's smug!]]>Jun 28th 2010 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/apple-sells-1-7-million-iphone-4s-through-satruday-june-26/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/apple-sells-1-7-million-iphone-4s-through-satruday-june-26/They're just reporting the sales numbers so why would they talk about the issues for the 1000th time?]]>Jun 28th 2010 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/apple-sells-1-7-million-iphone-4s-through-satruday-june-26/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/apple-sells-1-7-million-iphone-4s-through-satruday-june-26/
That was my reaction. In knew it was going to be high but damn!]]>Jun 28th 2010 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/apple-sells-1-7-million-iphone-4s-through-satruday-june-26/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/apple-sells-1-7-million-iphone-4s-through-satruday-june-26/
I think is whole antenna thing has been overblown. The real question is whether there are real reception issues. I was trying to reproduce this signal loss thing on my iPhone 4 and I couldn't get it to work until I put water on my hands, and even then, it didn't drop any calls, I just lost bars. I have a friend with an iPhone 4 and he has the same experience. No droppped calls. It's probably a software problem. The software detects attenuation or interference and responds by dialing down your bars, but you don't actually lose reception.

But hey, you sell a 1 million phones in a day and you're going to have some issues, and on the internet, those issues get magnified by a factor of ten. So you have something that in a normal setting, no one would notice, becoming an issue because someone did a demo of it on the internet.

My two cents.]]>Jun 28th 2010 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/apple-sells-1-7-million-iphone-4s-through-satruday-june-26/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/apple-sells-1-7-million-iphone-4s-through-satruday-june-26/
I'm worried about people's feet. I think everyone should get new shoes with an iPhone purchase. All that broken glass from dropped iPhones could be harmful.

@Parody

Is the glass really brittle though, in conparison to other glass used for phones? A quick search on YouTube can show you broken models (from a drop) of every recently released phone. You can see users of Driods, N1's, EVO's and IPhones taking keys, nails, and other objects and being unable to scratch their phone. All these phones have scratch resistant, but relatively easily breakable screens.

You can either have hardness, or shatter resistance. Personally, I care about scratch resistance, so I would always prefer a harder glass screen to one that won't shatter on a fall. 10 years of mobile phone ownership has shown me that I simply don't drop them.

I think you missed my point about my hand having to be wet to reproduce the issue. How many people do you think this will be an issue?

Congratulations to Steve & Co. indeed!

I held out for white iphone as I am sure a lot of folks did too; glad now as I'd like to see Apple's response to antenna issue first (and no, giving out free bumpers is not a good enough response imo).

On a side note, I have been seeing reception issues on my 3G too ever since I upgraded to iOS4. Could this possibly be a software only issue? I certainly hope so.]]>Jun 28th 2010 9:46AM
