BUG! So.... to avoid a serious design defect that Apple knew about prior to the phone's release, consumers are expected to hold the phone unnaturally and uncomfortably when it's in their left hand, to avoid affecting the circuit? Or, alternatively, shell out yet another $30 for their rubber bumper case to avoid touching the antenna strip? C'mon Jobs! Really? Other than this, and a yellowing on some phones (mine is fine), this new phone really is terrific. But this known flaw, and Apple's response to the outcry by claiming it's a "non-issue" and to just hold it differently, is insulting, evasive and manipulative, and overshadows the excitement and fun that we DID have until we received our shipments and the problems were discovered. "Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone." Oh no you didn't just say that!
