thats what lots of people do here, they rather not go through the many pages in this thread and yet ask the same questions, the mods have cautioned/reminded these types of people to read the info on the first page, its a no brainer really, or just use the simple search function below it will display nay previous posts on this thread regarding the reception issue.

hmm some of the recent posts here seem to be more inclined towards finding trivial problems rather than looking at the bigger picture, folks get a grip you guys are never gonna buy a phone from AT&T or experience their signal pitfalls, even if its not an iphone any other phones on AT&T network report signal loss or dropped calls issue, so till we have our local Telcos offer them on a wide scale basis im not going to be judgmental, those whom bought it and currently using it have said good things about coverage,except for bro masamune, so yeah feel free to get other phones if you are afraid of this trivial matter, its just a freaking phone the problem it has will not put your life in jeopardy or affects your daily life in anyway or bring peace to the world, and rest assured that this post is coming from a Nokia 1208 user.

Lets talk about demographics shall we? Its interesting that you have gone as far as you did with those link to disapprove my assessment that its an At&t problem, still i dont see how At&t's incompetence over dropped calls with other phones could be rectified through your reasoning? my point of contention is, if it could happen to other phones why not that particular telco problem affect the iPhone 4(does it somehow feature and in built mechanism that could solve At&t's woes?).

Look here buddy, they sold 1.7 million phones, even 1% defective sets equate to 170,000, but i doubt the margin of error would be that high, and like it or not everything you and i have be it electronics or food is manufactured on an assembly line, and subsequently called mass production, thats how cost are kept low and there is still that margin of error even Beemers have issues, especially the N52 engine blocks on the E60, but does that mean people have to stop buying Beemers? No, they still do what is it then? Could it be BMW's awesome distortion field that make people buy the 5 series irregardless of the problem? No, people are not sheep or mindless drones that are steered by the likes of Apple or BMW, they buy it because they want it and could also live with the flaws and also the good that comes out of it be it sheer driving pleasure or a phone that could do everything you'll ever need on a portable device.

I told you before, till the day Maxis and Digi sell the iPhone 4 en masse, i will keep my judgement to myself, if there is a problem then fine i'll just send it in for a warranty claim or RMA, i have already decided that my 3K goes there why should i backoff midway? People out there would have already known about the issue through the Press, no matter how much you expound here, we kinda already knew about the problem exsists way before our local Star covered it, and your point is? I dont know about you but i for one do a thorough research about something before i buy something, i dont have to be fed by someone i barely know on the internet except for the select few i have befriended over the years here at applebyte(you guys know who you are ), no offense but i feel the Press(non biased ones with no bones to pick(AnandTech/Cnet/WSJ)) more newsworthy.

Lastly, do not fret the iPhone is not the last phone in the planet, Apple does not send out agents that put gun on yer head to get you to buy one, your wallets are safe people, get other phones that let you do whatever you wanna do in a phone and motivates you to not worry so much how its problem affect your daily life or the need to do a good in this world by yelping your heart in a public forum how it is the root of all evil.

apple never needed pc fairs to sell their stuffs, i dont think they'll start now, if you guys are eager to get yerself an iphone 4 and are currently maxis postpaid users, dial 123 and say you'd like to be enrolled in the Maxis iphone loyalty program, state the colur and capacity of teh iPhone 4 you are interested in, when they do have the stocks you'd be given first priority

has her apps been updated to the latest version?

isnt that because of the computer's USB port, read it well young padawan

another clumsy person reporting in, eh hows the razor case guys? bro beavis?

i have been using 1st gen core2duo macbook white,first gen MBP 15 Unibody with little or no trouble and you do realize that the iphone 4 is the fourth revision and not a first gen product right? and if you arent biased with your statement even the first batch of F10 BMW 5 series have issues that doesnt make the whole line of product crap. Any products that is mass produced even sugar have a defective rate, that is what warranty is for people.

again this what you think and not what the manufacturer think right? its a 4th revision of the first gen iphone and no amount of design overhaul will warrant it as a new breakaway product alltogather, it improves earlier designs with new components, the way it works and the functionality of the iOS remains the same. Every company will continuously improve and fix their current and future product without us the users needing to know or not isnt that what they are supposed to do improve their products?

Again the BMW thing is an anology of mine, i dont own one and i wouldnt like to speculate, but irregardless of the issues it might face(i bet proton is far far far worse in every way), i would like to own one. Your assertion about BMWs well lets just say anyone in a public forum can say hey i own a 360 Modena and its crap thats why i use a GTR instead, get what i mean?

i think the word you are looking for is immature? anyways it has always been the case for american companies to make direct comparisons with competitors with competing products,its just that in Malaysia our companies are afraid of naming their competitors in their ads but just name the by colors, good example of this would be maxis,celcom or digi. However having said that i feel Nokia and RIMs responses before the iphone antenna issue were blown off the water was immature too, since both phone manufacturers have this issue on selected models.

no point playing those formats, eats up a lot of battery power to decode and play, thats why they stick to m4v format, you can always get apps like handbrake taht could help you with conversion and its free

hmm thats weird it should play, i normally use handbrake to handle all of this for me.

+1, oh and for the record my friends alpine ida X100 works fine with iphone 3GS running on iOS4.01

heres hoping that the Malaysian Online Store will follow suit.

only Maxis offers this is think, reason why i ask because sometimes when they run out of stock takes them damn long to replenish it unlike the apple online store.

normally if you are a Datuk,high position feller/well connected you can get it faster/free depending lah.

i doubt that me dads line fluctuates and loses signal in smart tunnel, the longest tunnel in Malaysia PLUS and basement car parks. Its not a carrier problem its physics really signal cant penetrate thick walls or mountains(PLUS highway tunnel)

this is the thing it varies from one user to another user, of course my dad doesnt not own an iphone just a normal SE, but yeah my hometown sad to say has less bars fro all three carriers (Perak tengah). Though im impressed that Maxis has very good signal in most parts of Sabah as opposed to 9 years back.

1st Malaysian Buying Power
2nd We are a second tier market for apple
3rd The Register interest with DIgi and Maxis is already on, check their website.

this is a question you should ask the leaders of Malaysia what have they done for the past 50 years? sleeping? Oh, singapore is actually a warehouse depot for southeast asia so even Thailand/Indonesia and Philippines get their stocks from them.
