Faulty By Design
Internetz,
I wanted an IPhone 4 just like everyone else. I was unable to purchase one at the reduced price since I had just bought my IPhone 3GS this past December and I had just renewed my 2 year contract. The IPhone 3GS is still a pretty kick ass phone, unfortunately it seems the IPhone 4 suffers from a design problem related to the antenna. This only affects left handed users, and even then it's only a small percentage. Still, Apple did release an official response in which they did acknowledge a faulty algorithm for incorrectly calculating the number of bars to display in the UI. It's enough for me to wait until Apple releases their IPhone 5 in the next two years.
