WOW! Stick it to em... OOorrrr, you could just buy a rubber band to wrap around the phone, then theres NO LAWSUIT! Nah, Sue the Basterds! They deserve it for releasing a half done phone, Im glad Verizon customers didnt get this model, all the signal hype we suuposed to give the phone, and it comes down to how you hold it...we would of had a hard time with that one...

you mean INCLUDE the rubber band and there will be no problem =D it's cheap enough that apple can stuff a rubber band in the box for shipment and have it multi color just for the youthful image & trendy approach now it's all about marketing their marketing experts are falling asleep and the PR doesn't know anything

Actually I work for Verizon and there's a customer in my store RIGHT NOW with an iPhone4 WITH the rubber thing around the edge and while it helps with making phone calls it's almost impossible for me to get a solid data connection unless I hold the phone with just two fingers on the very top...

I love this....Apple goofed on something sooooo simple, this appears to be a design flaw not based upon computer programming or faulty components.... but simply improper design of the antenna as well as improper testing... Then again, how could Apple properly test their products when they can't even keep track of their prototypes. Those all end up in a puddle of spilled beer and redbull-vodkas. It would be an absolute disgrace if the employee who designed the antenna was fired for this and Jobs is still gets to water and fertilize his orchard of I-bitches. Somewhere on the product testing checklist there is a missing box for "does this phone drop more calls then would be expected?" Someone get me a wool shirt.

Apple and At&T because they have so much money. I think it will be increadible hard to when a court case against either one, let alone both companies combined.

The thing that really pisses me off is the other article about how Verizon got sued for their contracts ETF's. People seem to justify the suing of a company that clearly discloses the contract your about to sign and the terms of the agreement that you are bound to if you agree. But in this article people are defending the fact that the company had complete control over their negligence, how Apple fails to take responsibility, and refuses to fix the problem. They dont put a stop on sales, they're still dumping truck loads of these problematic phones to the public without resolving the issue. This to me sounds like the Toyota Prius all over again.

how can anyone say anything on here is not true? are you at the store with him? do you have an iphone4? and there are so many of these worthless hunks of glass and steel that one could be horrible and the next 5 could be fine...i think you should think about what you are saying before you post it on the WWW and show everyone your intelligence...

As much as I think the iPhone 4 antenna debacle is a perfect example of bad engineering practice, it doesn't deserve a class action suit. The people filling this lawsuit and their ambulance chasing counsel are just try to make a quick buck... And yes, I know I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but I'm concerned that too many of these types of lawsuits are going to keep companies like Apple from trying new things like putting the antennas on the outside. As much as it was poorly executed, it was a good idea...

So how else do you get Apple to correct their wrong? You think they are just gonna decide to give out these free bumpers that they are charging $30 for on their own? Seriously man they put this product out with its organs showing and then tell you that your holding it wrong and you should buy a bandaid? F!@K THAT! I think the iPhone 4 is awsome but what they are doing to the consumer is not right especially for the hundreds of dollars we're paying for it.

It's not the face that they were trying something new.... they knew it was flawed, they still put it into production and sold it to the public with the defect. Then they say there is no problem... then say you are holding it wrong like you're a retard who doesnt know how to hold a cell phone. So in this instance they deserve to be sued because they knowingly put out a defective device HOPING the consumer was too dumb to notice, or dumb enough to believe they were holding it wrong when mostly EVERYONE holds a cell from the bottom.

nak i agree with you...this is obnoxious...here is how you correct a bad product return or don't buy the phone...its not bad engineering...its not defective...vote and reward for a good company with your dollars...if the at&t and Apple iPhone solution is for you great if not there are plenty of alternatives...there is no reason for all drama everytime there is an iPhone story...

I actually agree with you on this. People sue for far too little these days. Mind you, I am not condoning apple's faulty antenna. To be honest I own the iPhone 4 and I have only had a single dropped call, but that may be due to the simple fact that all users will hold their phones differently. In my opinion I believe the simplest and most appropriate solution comes with apple sending a black bumper to everyone who purchased one that they have record of. We all know that that bumber costs nowhere near the $30 they are selling it for. It most likely costs less than a dollar to manufacture. This would mean that their profit loss, ignoring those who may have purchased a bumper at some point for $30, is significantly less than the every growing class action suit that is being filed against them.

the bumpers cost CONSUMERS $30 not CRAPPLE...think about it more like $3 if that, its rubber for crying out loud
