That's my reading of the situation, but that may be my reality distortion field kicking in. Gwynne -- My real email is net, not line.

Hardly worth the effort - I'd keep it in my bits drawer; never know when it might come in useful. As to cost of calls, I was thinking in terms of a week's trial. I don't wither on the phone, so in my case, it'd be the odd pound or 2, but if the length of your posts are anything to go by, it may indeed be a non-trivial amount in your case. > >> I'm interested in knowing whether some units suffer less than other > >> because that will point to a manufacturing issue rather than a design > >> issue > > > Neither, if I heard what Jobs said correctly: > > Sorry, I don't understand.

Touching an antenna causes it to be detuned to a greater or lesser extent depending on where you touch it. > 0.05% of Applecare users does not equate to 0.05% of users being > dissatisfied.

Well if they are not sufficiently affected to neither call nor return the phone, then presumably it works well enough for them. Do you have a better metric?

I wonder what percentage of people purchasing an iPhone 4 and having reception issues are not aware that they have free Applecare? -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm |
