American Consumer Report do not want to recommend the iPhone 4 just because of its signal issues. Glad to hear so far all Msian users in this forum don't have this problem.

Consumer reports.org confirms that it is a DESIGN flaw.

Err.. of the recent posts (benny's and mine) no questions were asked? But merely, just posting links to real-world testing being done, with proper RF hardware with them concluding that its a hardware issue...

what? we are still asking the same question?!
there's no antenna issue if you're using the iPhone here in Malaysia! the issue in USA is a combination of AT&T and iPhone4

Really? As i read, there was one,.. hopefully its an isolated case...


Many people JUST want some BALANCED views, because they're about to put down some 3-odd-grand for a phone that we all have come to love. Is that really blasphemous?

@yuvanesh & xaw5126

That's the whole reason why i ask those who are skeptical not to get the iPhone 4 so that we can enjoy the iPhone 4 before they do...lolz.

Quite the character. So those who decide to wait out are all deemed skeptical? I guess everytime something comes out we all gotta act all kancheong and be the first to enjoy it before everyone else. Whatever happened to being patient, while making an informed decision ?

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.

If you consider the hampering of a PHONE's BASIC function to make and receive calls, or surf the net on 3G, or etc while holding it trivial then by all means. But at least you're acknowledging there IS a problem.

And btw, AT&T is not the only network on which this problem has been identified on;

Optus @ Australia:

Vodafone @ Australia:

Consumer Reports already stated its a DESIGN flaw, not a network flaw... Please remember Consumer Reports.org were ALSO the ones that scored the iPhone 4 higher than its main competition.

All im saying is that there is a prevalent problem, and while im very well aware that it does not affect ALL phones, the problem is there. But that doesnt mean it shouldnt be made aware of. People are going to pay a lot of money in this thing, why shouldnt they be allowed to know what the pro's n cons?
