Post 15 says the problem isn't as bad as he first thought? So what?

Your definition of trolling is posting something that disagrees with your opinion which is formed as far as I can see from a mixture of blinkered bias and lack of ability to think for yourself.

I don't know why you and a few others on here feel the need to be so abusive, it just makes you look like a sad little keyboard warrior.

Still, if it enhances your life then you carry on

It's the fact he went out his way to prove me wrong, pathetic .

Yeah you're not trolling silly me!

The fact remains you didn't have a opinion yet a link to show in the end swiss want moaning about as it was down to his signal at his house.

Correct. It is not a major problem per se as
1. I always have it in a case, not because of trying to alleviate the signal issue but to protect it from scratches and in case I drop it
2. The signal issue can be forced by gripping it tightly but that never happens and it is so rare that it never bothers me
3. The features that set it apart from the 3G model more than make up for any small issues

However, the straight to voicemail problem is a tad annoying but that is a fault of 02 and not the handset

Well no worries, no one likes being proved wrong, just take a bit more care next time and we will say no more about it

Picked up mine on Wednesday Pete. Had to wait till last night to activate as I travel a lot. Good portable comms are therefore very important to me.

Its the best all round communications device i've owned or used. And one that over time will cost me next to nothing as I'll be able to sell it on for a decent price a couple of years down the line.

If there is a recall, I'll head along to the Apple store where the well trained and knowledgeable staff will probably just swap mine for a newer version. If there isn't I couldn't care cos for me there is no problem whatsoever.

Thats the fact of it. So why don't you just f'uck off back to your sad little existence and let the rest of us get on with life?

They will not recall the iPhone, there is no need to. Worst case scenario they will update the software to ease the issue and offer free bumpers. End of.

And to be honest, most iphone 4 users (of which I assume you are not one of them) are not bothered.
Can't see how new software can eliminate an aerial fault.

they could always just make a fault so that you never have signal, then they have an itouch for 5 times the money.

So Pete decides to slate the iPhone, and gets mocked for it.
Yet the Iphone fanboys are equally as vociferous in their collective defence.

And yet they dont like being called fanboy wanchors.
Pete however takes it like a man.

Your post was going well till you mentioned the aids line which highlights you probably have a mental age of 14.

Never said it would leslie, I seriously doubt any sound person thought it would. However there are reports out there that suggest some form of software change may alleviate the signal issue

Sometimes considered, intelligent and polite responses just don't quite hit the mark

To be honest mate, I've shown up pete so many times in the past, called him out time and time again only for him to runoff with his tail between his legs never to return to a thread (the evidence is there for all to see) that its quicker and easier to just to be direct and to the point

The description of what happens with respect to signal loss is said to be associated with the way you hold the thing reducing the ability of the aerial to pick up a signal. It seems to be down to the design of the hardware unless I have missed something somewhere Swiss.

Everyone gets a free case. If you bought one - the case - you get a full refund.

Isn't that nice of Apple. Especially after all the data they've just presented.

I only suck Lemons when I'm wrong Mart. If I was I would gladly sacrifice a Gin and Tonic for a picture and a good laugh.

The Apple website will be updated next week, you can apply for your case there. Apparently they can't make enough Bumpers so you'll get a choice.

+1

I think it is shocking that such a high profile company can release a sub-standard product regardless of how popular it is, yet there are waiting lists? The fanboys are mental. I reckon if Steve Jobs stuck an apple sticker on his morning scheiser and sold it for $499 there'd be a waiting list for them too...
