      I am astonished that Apple didn't find this issue in testing; however, once found they should deal with ti but, like all large companies, they just hoped it would all go away as Toyoda did with all of their recent issues. Be so much better for a companies image if the just fessed up and fixed it.

        But they did! Didn't Steve 'his holiness' Jobs say it was just a software glitch? And besides that Apple aren't wrong, if you suffer loss of signals then you are 'holding it wrong'. :rolleyes: :-D

            And if it catches fire, have you "plugged it in wrong"? Or is that a software glitch, too? :laugh:

                          I'm waiting for Apple to release a newer version (iPhone Unleashed) which fixes the problems and is more expensive, providing everybody on a contract involving an iPhone 4 with the option to switch to the newer version for a sum of money (maybe about £75.)

                                Fix it? Recall? Ha... They just apply The Formula

                                A = The number of IPhones sold B = The probability of a customer suing over the problem C = The average cost of an out-of-court settlement A * B * C = X If X is less than the cost of a recall, they don't do one.

                                      no. i bought an android-based LG. because i don't want AT&T. just sayin that speculation from some anonymous quote farmers isn't exactly definitive.

                                        They purposely introduced this "feature" to encourage handsfree sales. //L

                                        More likely "bumper" sales. :|

                                        I need an app that will automatically deliver a new BBBBBBBBaBB (beautiful blonde bimbo brandishing bountiful bobbing bare breasts and bodacious butt) every day. John Simmons / outlaw programmer

                                          They were planning to develop a line of mp3 players for children, but market research showed that iTouch Kids would only sell in the Vatican. *runsandhides* //L

                                          So running and hiding is a valid strategy after all?

                                          A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.
