I was playing with an iPhone 4 tonite at the local AT&T Wireless store. No rubber bumper installed. Stock iOS 4.0 with 5 bars. Touch the gap and nothing happens. Huh? I expect some change. So, I asked if they had a cellular repeater or nano-cellular radio in the store. Yep, just behind the counter. There was so much RF that no amount of touching the antenna was going to have an effect. Listening to the adjacent conversation, the sales person was informing the customer that her new phone will have iOS 4.0.1, which should solved the antenna problem. Sure, after Apple fixes it: iPhone owners report iOS 4.0.1 installation errors <http://news.cnet.com/8301-31021_3-20010737-260.htm> I asked if the AT&T store was giving away rubber bumpers. Nope. They have to come from Apple. I don't know about your local AT&T store, but nobody was hovering over me, or watching me like a hawk as I was playing with the phone. -- # Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D Santa Cruz CA 95060 # 831-336-2558 # http://802.11junk.com jeffl@cruzio.com # http://www.LearnByDestroying.com AE6KS
