A company who won't accept the iPhone 4 might have a problem or a blog that can easily show fake e-mail headers to make Apple look like the bad guy? I believe in Microsoft. ]]>Jul 3rd 2010 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/steve-jobs-emails-are-real-claims-boy-genius-report-says-appl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/steve-jobs-emails-are-real-claims-boy-genius-report-says-appl/
Not to mention Gizmodo has a source that says the headers are at least accurate. So we know that the headers if they are faked, are definitely from Apple, maybe not this particular email but a previous one.

That + the fact Apple has been on a huge PR spree lately where they have lied (or mislead) to people i'm siding with BGR.]]>Jul 3rd 2010 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/steve-jobs-emails-are-real-claims-boy-genius-report-says-appl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/steve-jobs-emails-are-real-claims-boy-genius-report-says-appl/
wow Microsoft looks like a saint now. And why isnt the EU or the US Anti-trust dept filing cases against Apple now.

Mm mm MMMMMM!!! Hope y'all got your popcorn.. this shyt gonna be EPIC!!

Bwahahahaha!! The Big Fruit is imploding! Apple says their phone has the best antenna ever -- Not. They say all phones have some attentuation when held, but theirs doesnt exhibit that -- Not. AT&Ts service has been the cause of network issues for users with iPhones -- Not (their implementations suck --ask iPad--, and they've been doctoring their bars display for Years).

+ They have posted jobs for antenna engineers (Why, when you have had the "best" on staff that came up with that "bright" new antenna design??)

I rest my case.]]>Jul 3rd 2010 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/steve-jobs-emails-are-real-claims-boy-genius-report-says-appl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/steve-jobs-emails-are-real-claims-boy-genius-report-says-appl/

I just got the iphone 4 and I have no freaking problems. So Apple has a small design flaw. Get a bumper cause there isn't any iphone user walking around with their baby unprotected. If there are any they are stupid.
The screen is amazing!!!! The color saturation is deep deep deep. And the only phone calls that drop,in my encounter, are the folks with Metro PCS.

And congratulations to you, my friend. But I have seen and heard about these issues firsthand... and have seen the numerous videos clearly showing this "touch sides/strip = lose reception" issue. As I have stated before, not 100% of the users of a particular product will not experience some of the reported issues that may pop up. I have the EVO (getting the white iPhone as well when that is released -- and fixed; job payin, why not?) and have not had the many reported issues. As Apple has said themselves, its mainly the users in low-reception area -- and as we ALL know, AT&T's coverage is BAD, nationally. AT&T sucks in my area, so that is why I am weary about this issue.

Please do not use Your experience as the basis of all of the other owners. I know what I saw and read, and everyone here can agree -- Engadget has reported Most of this since it broke. WHY should any consumer have to spend money to correct a highly touted design flaw -- Especially those who paid Full price! If you feel that way, fine. But your a figgin idiot in doin so, and its not even a full case for $30!!!! GTFOH! Overpriced rubberband. And even with those, there are some consumers that are STILL having a problem!

C'monnn, I cant believe iSheep are taking this all in and DEFENDING Apple. Reception problems are only the half. Apple is LYING, and continue to lie, and WHY CAN YOU ALL NOT SEE THAT?? They have been doctoring their reception bars for generations now! Apple's fraudulent activities have been EXPOSED! Yey, iSheep are still sticking to Jobs' sack like white on rice... smdh.

In Google's eyes you are a commodity to be sold to advertisers for profit. Google does not care about you as a person. Their mission is to make money first, organize the world's information second (but only because it will make them more money) So don't put them on some kind of pedestal. They are a business, not your friend. To over generalize, don't trust any company, keep em on a short leash, and as soon as they do something stupid be ready to jump ship.]]>Jul 3rd 2010 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/steve-jobs-emails-are-real-claims-boy-genius-report-says-appl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/steve-jobs-emails-are-real-claims-boy-genius-report-says-appl/Bandwagon: The reports of antenna problems with the iPhone 4 are greatly exaggerated.

Naive: seriously, Steve Jobs has better things to do that write emails to customers. He has an entire department that does so. Don't believe me? Go ahead and send him an email.

BGR just happens to get the most important part of the story wrong. They get a millions hits off their "mistake" then quietly corrects it with an "edit" statement at the bottom of the article. They should headline another story "Opps, Steve did not say 'Retire, relax...'".

Boy Genius is saying it's real, why? Either because it is real and they want to expose Apple. or because they need to protect their rep. They even admit that they are basically a rumor site. Plus those copied headers. Come on, anyone could doctor that info
Apple is saying the messages were fake. They told this to a major news magazine. And then released a letter to the public basically supporting their version. Telling the truth or lying to protect their rep. Consider the outcome when the smoking gun comes out. Well this would make the whole "Steve Jobs is dying" seem like a picnic

So frankly my vote is that Apple is not lying and the messages were not real. ANd that there is no proof of a major design flaw with the antennae.
Now is it BGR or this Jason guy that lied, don't know, don't care. ]]>Jul 3rd 2010 9:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/steve-jobs-emails-are-real-claims-boy-genius-report-says-appl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/steve-jobs-emails-are-real-claims-boy-genius-report-says-appl/Jul 3rd 2010 9:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/steve-jobs-emails-are-real-claims-boy-genius-report-says-appl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/steve-jobs-emails-are-real-claims-boy-genius-report-says-appl/

Why should someone with a piece of news information be looked down upon because they want to get paid for it? You, Engadget, and every other news purveyor are shopping your news to us the readers for cash. You are a business arnt you? Your ultimate purpose is to make money and you get paid for your work which is being part of the chain of passing that information to its ultimate destination which is us the readers. So it's ok if you and your owners make money from that information but not the original posessor of it? Is your crap somehow less stinky than his?

You are hypocrites to look down on the plebs just because any of them might dare to think they could make some money from some newsworthy information they are lucky enough to find themselves in possesion of.
