Underdoc, what you’re saying is simply not true for most iPhone 4s. Yes, as reported, some people seem to have a bad batch of extra sensitive phones, but the majority do not have this problem. Mine does not drop bars nor do any of my co-workers phone. I’m not saying this isn’t a problem for SOME, but it is not widespread. Do you own an iPhone 4 and have you experienced this personally?

In all examples shown, the signal was weakened by cupping the phone into the palm, which is probably not a good way to hold it when you want to talk anyway… ONLY with iPhone 4 you can kill the signal by simply touching a single spot with one finger. So the competitors are understandably upset by being dragged into Apple’s mess.

BTW, I cannot believe I had to install QT Alternative to see the QuickTime videos on Apple’s site. What happened to HTML5? Way to go, hypocrites!

I know slash gear will buy into apple’s deceptive comparisons.

did you not realize that

dropped bars != dropped calls? Think, slashgear, think!
