only way they are going to fix the problem is to redesign it (which is doubtful) or start sending them out with cases.

I believe Steve Jobs offered full refunds on anyone who returns their iphone if not satisfied. If true, i'm anxious to see how many people return it.

Problem with many smartphones, are that most of them are developed with multimedia features in mind, and then they just cram in a crappy attenna. That's why it's better to stick to companies that have been in the cellphone business for a long time (Samsung, HTC, Motorolla, RIM,etc), not Apple; who have only been in the smartphone business for over 3 years, and overprice their poorly quality made, feature lacking products.

I've still yet to find why millions of people are obsesed with their products. Probably the exact same people that spend their entire life on Facebook, Twitter, saying "like" "wow" and "oh my God" 40 times in one sentence, and spend $60+ a month at Starbucks. Although there are a crap load of people like that...
