This was my experience with several older phones too. Methinks Apple's problem is more than simply antenna *placement* although that may be a part of it. It does seem to be a RF problem and I doubt that can be fixed with software although they may be able to ameliorate it at the expense of some battery life. -- |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Malcolm Hoar "The more I practice, the luckier I get". | | malch@malch.com Gary Player. | | http://www.malch.com/ Shpx gur PQN. | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
