These kind of mistakes on Apple's part make a great opportunity for other companies to attempt to take their spot.
Outside: (opening just a few steps from an apple store at the same mall, while people where in line waiting for the iPhone 4)
Inside:
- i couldn't think of anything more boring then a "microsoft store". Apple stores a boring enough...inteliboy
- i bet all of those people either work for or were paid by Microsoft to show up.iCanHasQBN
- most of those people were inline waiting for the iPhone (this was shot this morning), the store looks just like the apple storeMiguex
- store, but instead of "geniuses" they have "suits" as in "as a suit for help"Miguex
- fucking nerds, geeks and fanboys...

This is what happens when you have a small test group and they're all in faux 3Gs cases.

Ok so here's the thing
Here's a video of me testing my iphone 3gs.
I tested the "signal death grip" with my iPhone 3gs and it also has the same issue with the iPhone 4.
The interesting thing though is that even though the phone has no signal at all
when I make a call the signal goes back up even though I still hold it with the "signal death grip"!!
If I let go of the grip the signal goes back up even further.
So I don't really know what to think but maybe it's a software issue after all?

I have heard that this is more to do with the AT&T network in the USA. It was predicted because there network uses lower MHZ.
A friend sent me this, not sure where he got it from.
After the launch, the design was praised by Dermot O'Shea, director for Taoglas, an Irish provider of antenna solutions, who told website Wireless Week that there might be problems with AT&T's network - which is the only one on which the iPhone is available in the US: "In fairness, the cellular antenna – it looks like it goes all the way around the phone, so it looks like they're getting a lot space out of the antena," he told Wireless Week. "I think the reception challenge they would have is on the lower 850 MHz frequency that AT&T uses," he says, noting that the thinness of the antenna could still lead to dropped calls on that frequency.

from apple website:
".... the same type of glass used in the windshields of helicopters and high-speed trains. Chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic, the glass is ultradurable and more scratch resistant than ever. It’s also recyclable"

funny in the comments,
instead of bitching about this flaw, the usual apple user will abide and buy a bumper,
you can't tell me they didn't plan this, when they decided to create bumpers especially for this phone,
I smell a conspiracy of epic proportion- i dont think they have to buy them...lvl_13
- not free though
http://i.imgur.com/T…georgesIII - $30 damn dollars for those bumpers. Stupid.mg33
- I got 2 for $8 at Marshalls!marchelo
