Exactly. Unfortunately half of the people out there doesnt understand this concept. I must say that Steve and his marketing department is by far the most astonishing in managing to invert this hardware flaw to every single mobile manufacture out there and make everyone think it's a normal thing when it's not.

I have tried every combination of holding, squeezing, sticking it up my ass and my Vibrant won't budge from 4 bars. Why is it so hard to grasp that the iPhone 4's EXPOSED ANTENNA is the blunder and no amount of deflection campaigns or "hey look over there" press releases from Apple changes that.

I'll admit it's cheese for a co. like Samsung to even stoop to mentioning Apple as a gimmick, because they've got the best superphone on the market now period. The more talented somebody is the less they need the props. Sadly the fratboy marketing majors are infiltrated in every corner of corporati, Samsung obviously no exception.]]>Jul 23rd 2010 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/ android, you got the order wrong]]>Jul 23rd 2010 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/

I don't have any reception issues, or dropped calls on my iPhone 4, but I get it, this is an article about Samsung, and Android, so Apple bashing is OK here. Why must everyone assume that everyone iPhone 4 is having problems, when most to be honest are problem free?]]>Jul 23rd 2010 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/
Only if you are bleding the wrong way, just keep the blood away from the bottom left of the phone and there will be no problems. ]]>Jul 23rd 2010 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/
You need to clarify:

The iphone has an antenna problem for some users. For instance, not only have I never dropped a call, but it's reception beats the pants off of any other smartphone I've ever owned.

Last I checked, the Galaxy S (Samsung Captivate) was readily available while the iphone 4 was still sold out with 7-14 days waiting.

Tells me, that IF there really was a big antenna issue with the iphone 4, many people would have returned the iphone 4 and gotten a Galaxy S/Captivate.

The whole blowing up this issue to drive Android sales strategy not only failed to drive demand away from the iphone, but people are NOT returning their iphones to buy these Android devices. From what I know, most people in marketing, media and graphics are already overwhelmingly pro Apple in their purchasing. To get a couple of people to buy an Android device is unlikely to change anything...

The day Android phones sell out in a network that offers the iphone as well will be a tipping point. For now, Android phones only sell well where the consumer has no iphone option.

Just look at Att v. Verizon earnings! That tells the real story. Doesn't it?]]>Jul 23rd 2010 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/Jul 23rd 2010 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/Jul 23rd 2010 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/

Dear Engadget Editors,

If you don't want people thinking that you are "on Apple's payroll and readily talk about it every chance you get then try and refrain from adding little comments like you did at the end of this article. You all should be completely used to the fact that every time you post an article about something negative about Android you get slammed in the comments. So why would any one with common sense add some comment like that? I have always stood up for you all when people say something immature like "Engadget is getting paid by Apple" but you shoot yourself in the foot when you make certain comments. Just a little bit of advice, but a tech blog is better when it is un bias don't ya think?]]>Jul 23rd 2010 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/
You're probably in a good signal area smart guy. I will admit my iPhone 4 will lose a bar or two if I death grip it but usually only when I'm in a area that has two or three bars. At my house where I get four bars I can hold it how ever I want without a single bar loss. There's videos that show yours and plenty other smartphones losing bars so get over it already. Sure they may not be as bad but it does occur. ]]>Jul 23rd 2010 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/Nobody is saying all Iphones have antenna problems. But the problem does exist. So you say; "there is a known antenna problem with the iphone 4". Look, I am typing this on a Mac Pro, so I am very pro Apple. However, it does me no good to ignore a flaw in their production. I hold Apple to a very high standard because I ACTUALLY USE THEIR PRODUCTS. If I play the fanboy and just give them a pass every time, soon I will be stuck with crap. Thanks to me and some of the so called "iphone haters" Apple is issuing free cases and will no doubt redesign the next gen Iphone. To other iphone users.... you are welcome.]]>Jul 23rd 2010 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/samsung-dispatching-free-galaxy-s-handsets-to-iphone-4-whiners-o/
