And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So Apple is going to give a free case to iPhone 4 users.

Yawn.

I'm beginning to believe in the "bad batch" theory, btw, due to the fact that I've tried every which way I can to make my phone drop bars, and I can't do it. So I think I got lucky when my pre-order didn't go through.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think it works for us because we're in NYC. In New York, AT&T uses 850MHz for 3G. In other cities AT&T uses 1900MHz, which would tend to perform worse.

Huh - interesting! Either way, I'm keeping it.

The status is NOT quo.

Jessica, I've heard that from a few other people, too. Drew said he and Tom tried to replicate the problem and couldn't.

That is pretty sweet. Makes Apple seem less whiny.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

That's all well and good, but until the Consumer Reports thing came out, weren't they denying that the signal was affected at all? Now their excuse is "everyone does it"? Please.

When were they denying it? Citation please. They never denied it.

They never denied it.

They denied that it actually affected the signal as much as people said--it was an issue that you shouldn't have been seeing that many bars of signal to start with!! Yeah, RIGHT.

Our wings are not tired

It has been mishandled, that is certain, but it's also been blown out of proportion.

I've watched the iPhone 4 more than once next to my 3G, and even with the signal attenuation issues, it outperforms my 3G reception.
