It's not perfect. I absolutely love Apple products, and I buy them because in my eyes, they're perfect for me. I was really looking forward to the iPhone 4, but the stupid antenna problem makes it not perfect. It's disappointing for a company like Apple to have overlooked something like this. To be honest, it kinda puts a dent in their reputation in my eyes.
I doubt Apple would fix this problem with their manufacturing process and offer replacements to the current iPhone 4 users. They might pull it off with the white iPhone 4, but I don't know if I'd like the color. I could really use the extended battery life of the iPhone 4, and the awesome camera, too.
It's cool that Apple is offering free cases to all iPhone 4 users, but I don't want to get one because I HAVE to! Oh well, I guess I'm gonna have to wait until the following generation iPhone 4S.
What's your reason? If you own one, why? Respond in the comments below. 🙂
Ug, while I respect your right to have this opinion I feel like so many people have drunk the media kool aid with this whole antenna thing. If the problem is as wide spread as everyone says why aren't more people returning their phones? Why isn't there a more puplic outcry? The media is talking but the average person is not. To me this is a clear indication that it's not as big an issue as it's being made out to be. That being said I am enjoying my Droid X very much!
Hahaha, I got a good crack out of that last sentence!
You are right, the problem isn't as widespread as the media is making it out to be, but the fear of owning a less than perfect product lurks inside me. Nobody I've met in NYC has that "death grip" problem, but the fact that it happens in really low reception areas (apparently) bugs me.
On another note, I don't NEED a new phone right now. My 3GS is doing well, ha.
