iPhone4 - Page 37

Right fair enough if they say there reporting a stronger signal than actually exists (which makes me wonder to begin with anyway!). But how do they explain a call dropping, irrelevant of bars of signal? It's still a hardware problem no matter what

Antennas are hidden/shielded for a reason! Always have been....

I have to say I've had call dropping on my iphone. It's a pain - but I also live in a slightly dodgy signal area. I got call dropping on other phones so I think it's mainly due to that.

The iphone isn't perfect - not that anything is, but if it's no worse than the current one, I'm still upgrading.

That's where the issue lies, an awful lot of people are complaining that it is, very much so. Enough for it not to be just a few unlucky whingers.

That is not 'misrepresented bars' that is data transmission completely halting whilst the antenna is bridged.

I'm firmly of the believe there is a problem, it's just a case of waiting to see if Apple will admit it or try and sweep it under the carpet.

Fair doos, I was getting one on pre-order but work screwed up so I'll just wait till the end of the month - if I read any big scare stories that put me off then I'll just keep what I have - I doubt I will though, I'm a sucker for a gadget.

Had a Safari crash last night (3GS, iOS 4). That's the first one I've ever had and it had to happen as I was trying to post a particularly long message on another forum. Grrr!

It was, however, prescient, as I didn't bother re-typing the post and changed my mind about it all an hour later.

I'm at Oxford St and there are about 50 people in the queue in front of me

Here's to hoping

I touched one this mroning. Lovely screen.

(My workmate went out for "lunch" yesterday and came back with one)
