And now, the safest buy. 100% refund guarantee, AND a free case! People wouldn’t be so worked up over it if this was a Windows phone, or pshh, even an Android. One of my friends has a Droid Phone that doesn’t work without a small piece of tissue in between the battery pack and case. A Windows Mobile Phone carrying friend has to hold down the volume up button on his phone throughout the entire call or it keeps turning itself down. That new Droid X has the most formidable looking specs of any phone on the market, but is hampered by it’s operating system and apparently some screen flickering issues. You don’t hear anyone screaming ‘UNUSABLE!’ – That’s just how other phones are expected, and accepted to work. Have a problem? Rig it to work, or live with it. Apple prides itself on releasing products that are designed beautifully and function near-perfectly. So they set themselves up for intense scrutiny and over-magnified flaws on every product. No-one’s perfect, sure, but this phone is still amazing, and anyone that actually owns one knows the supposed antenna problems mean next to nothing in REAL use. The iPhone 4 may be unusable for left-handed, tight gripped people that like to make calls right after a sweaty workout – that also don’t care enough about their beautiful phone to buy any sort of case. And that only rely on direct phone communication, rather than all the modes of communication the iPhone was meant for: Like… the INTERNET. Even so, I haven’t dropped any calls on my iPhone 4, with or without my case. Granted, I live in a good signal area with little congestion, and am right handed, have a case, and am not stupid. If and when they have an iPhone 5 on Verizon… Apple will rule the smartphone world. Hey, that HTC EVO 4G ain’t so bad either though. Bravo, Sprint!
