Technically its not easy to fix the antenna problems with a software unless the iPhones are using some sort of smart antenna technology which uses software to "tunes" the signal strength (which I don't think Apple is using) coz they have boasted about the new Antenna body design.

Hardware method is the easiest way and that's why they introduced the iPhone 4 case "bumper". Technically its called "RF absorber". Many designs have used this method to reduce the RF interference. However, I am not sure other "plastic case" design by other manufacturers have same quality as Apple Bumpers or not.

However, I believed the software patch (as mentioned by Apple Insider) 4.0.1 (if released) is not trying to solve the Antenna problem but instead the software patch is trying to close any security holes for Jailbreak solutions.

Why this time Apple allow unlocked models being sold at UK Apple Stores?
Will they do the same in Malaysia and Singapore?

Yes - that's what i meant. Hope we can just buy from the Apple Authorised Dealers or Malaysia Apple Store.

Finally they selling straight from the Apple Store and no longer from the telcos.
I believed Maxis and Digi (and also the rest of telcos around the world that have contracts with Apple) have BAD experience in handling customer complaints and Stock inventory. Its easier for the telcos just to sell their data packages than to handle phone business.


Hope Malaysian Apple Store will also be publish soon!!





And you can also buy at "Reduced Pricing" from the telcos.
I think this will be model almost everywhere around the world where the customers have choices.... Buy directly from Apple Store or from the Telcos.

Mine is okay. No hang experience.
Did your upgrade process to iOS 4 a smooth one or you encounter "error" during the process.

Someone joked about this...

"Apple lost its iPhone in a Bar... Later the Bars was lost from iPhone... Maybe the people will sue Apple and meet at Council Bar"

Anyone selling iPhone 4 in Low Yat Plaza? If yes, how much are they selling?

Wow...that's damn expensive! What size - 16GB or 32GB?
