On New iPhone, a Mystery of Dropped Calls
As an iPhone owner for over three years, I can attest to the fact that it is not the best phone there is. Apple has done many things right with the iPhone, but the main application is the phone as the name suggests. And it sucks as a phone.
Looks like they have not done much to improve the quality of the phone even in iPhone 4. What a shame!
Apple’s [AAPL 266.70 --- UNCH (0) ] touch-screen smartphone has been a sensation since Day 1 three years ago, and many who own the device believe it to be almost perfect — if only it worked better as a phone.
So it is not surprising that as the first boxes of the new iPhone 4 landed in the hands of the earliest adopters late Wednesday, the antenna’s reception quickly became an Internet obsession. What surprised many of them: the precious little bars that signal network connections inexplicably disappeared when they cradled the phone in their hands a particular way. Sometimes, but not always, the cradling resulted in dropped calls.
