iPhone 4 - Announced

I have always held a phone since they 1st came out with the corner tucked into my palm (just like the bottom row 2nd from left pic above).

 

if anything I have only had maybe 1 bar drop while holding the phone like that..
I've heard that an update is due within the next week or so to help with the lag of the signal switching! thus helping reducing the loss of signal.

 

seems they have come clean and said this is a problem.

It's funny, they've now acknowledged there is both software and hardware at fault. So regardless of a software update, the reception drop when holding it wrong will still occur, just you won't have as many bars in the first place.

 

how can you hold a phone wrong

it almost suggests that its designed not to be held

 

Ordered mine got a 32g coming for free 32/month 900 mins and unlim texts.

 

I got 32 gigger on Saturday and it's my first iphone. It is fair to say I haven't got a clue how to use the stupid thing. They're definitely not for Ludytes like me who have never used an ipod effort or visited itoons. The instructions lull you into a false sense of simplicity stating "Just download the latest itunes, connect your iphone and it will sync automatically". YEAH RIGHT!!!

My phone does frick all when I conect it to my laptop

 

whos that with

 

Right, it's so simple I can't see how it's not working for you?!

1. Sim card in
2. Turn iPhone on
3. Boot pc/ mac up
4. Load iTunes
5. Plug in your iPhone
6. Follow on screen instructions... Easy.

If when you connect your iPhone 'nothing' happens, then if the above don't work, install the latest iTunes from apple and try again.

 

Unless you're using Windows 3.11

Thanks for the prompts Dan. I did try all that as thats what the supplied instructions said, but naff all happened! The other half has just managed to successfully do it for me after digging on the tinterweb. It turns out the itunes I downloaded FOUR times was stored under the name I gave my computer. What a daft place for itunes to put itself!

 

As long as it's working now!

 

This is a fault of windows though, hardly the phones. Glad its all working.

 

Another reason to go Mac... they just work ! lol

 

FINALLY got mine today after being away for work i love how clear the screen is!

 

oh yess it is rather good

 

I actually dropped mine down the toilet the other day, fell out of my pocket when i pulled my pants up.

obviously i retrieved it immediately and washed/dried it off.

had a paddy for about 3 hours. i tried to turn it off but the apple logo kept flashing up. about 3 hours later it was working perfectly!
