Yeah, that’s right. It’s me on the left.
Hey Rogers! I’m not sure if you realize, but the iPhone 4 is slated for release this Friday. It’d be real swell if you could either acknowledge that on your site OR even better release plan details ahead of time to give the rest of Canada the chance to figure out options for upgrading.
Thanks, you’re the best!

Despite all the bad publicity that Apple is getting over the new iPhone 4 reception issues when holding the phone with the ‘death grip’, it seems that some other phones are suffering the same fate. Users are so mad at the iPhone that they are considering running a class action law suit.
Users all around have started to post youtube videos of several phone models including Nokia E71 (shown below), Nokia 6230, and Nokia 6720, as well as phones from other makers: the HTC Droid Incredible and the Google branded HTC Nexus One
Excerp from Appleinsider:
“Another Nokia customer posted the official user instructions from his Nokia 2320, which depict the phone with a graphical “do not” swipe across the bottom antenna section of the device, and explicit instructions to “avoid touching the antenna area unnecessarily while the antenna is transmitting or receiving.”
Nearly identical wording appears in Nokia’s printed manuals for its other phones, including the E71, as reader Mark McCormack sent in (pictured below). That’s the same model Nokia appears to be presenting in its blog page, where it asserts there is no way to reduce signal by holding the phone in a different way. Nokia’s manuals say otherwise: “Contact with antennas affects the communication quality and may cause the device to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed and my reduce the battery life.”
