With Apple iPhone 4, you can actually climb the tower and, if you hold the phone in your left hand as normal, it will not overload the iPhone 4's receiver, even if you place it right in front of the panel's main lobe. Preventing transceiver overload is very important to many users.....Like cellular tower crew, cellular technicians, Greenpeace activists who may climb the towers to add colorful anti-radiation signage, etc. There are many uses for iPhone 4 no other smartphones can fill. Soon, iPhone 4 will have an app to use it for a cellular wattmeter. You wrap your hand around the antenna slot and it can read up to 500 watts without going into overload. For smaller power levels, you simply hold it by the top to measure in the milliwatt range.....about as sensitive as this phone gets. -- Global Warming and Creationism are to science what iPhone 4 is to antennas...

Apology accepted > > > > 'the' current algorithm? there is no single one. > > There is more than one on an iphone 4? there is more than one algorithm for calculating bars. none of them are any more correct than any other. that's why two phones (on the same carrier) next to each other might show a different number of bars. what matters is whether calls drop, which based on reports (from the same people who say the bars drop) say is not happening. many are saying the iphone 4 holds calls better than other phones.

Not too much of a bother, just unprofitable: let the iOwners buy them again on a restored phone if they really want them -- *that's* the profitable approach :-) .

Should one really call it "their own fault" if the "advice to sit tight and wait" that they ignored was advice that, for whatever reason(s), never reached them? > Such users probably wouldn't have done any better backing up data on > their own, and would have still complained when something went wrong. There was certainly an implicit uptime guarantee that was violated for them to complain about -- several weeks before restoration of data, no? > There will always be those who refuse to take responsibility for their > own actions. Yup: MS, Danger, T-Mo -- those are the first to come to mind here :-) . Or are you trying to pass the blame onto the victims? Cheers, -- tlvp -- Avant de repondre, jeter la poubelle, SVP |
