In a statement, Apple said: "Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas."

Hmmmm......I've owned a good amount of phones and never had this problem yet COMPLETE FUCKING SIGNAL LOST YOU DUMB FUCK.

Yeah, a buddy just got it and showed me that. If you put your finger over one spot, you can literally watch your signal drop out.

Once again, Apple fails at life.

Umm...have you seen the lines outside Apple stores for this phone? I'd hardly call the massive amount of cash they're raking in a fail...

I was at the dmv friday and watched some girl drop hers, and destroyed the screen.

My old t mobile wing fell off my bike at 70 and got a small scratch, didnt even loose the battery cover.

The problem is thought to be particularly acute for left-handed owners who naturally touch the phone in the sensitive area.

Sounds like that outer metal band/antenna needs a clear powder coat.
