Have New iPhone With Lost Signal? Duct Tape to the Rescue

Watched last night’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann and couldn’t help but laugh at a quick fix for those of you poor bastards stuck on the AT&T network because of having an iPhone and are now dealing (at least if you got the latest one) with a pretty big flaw: lost reception from “holding it wrong.”

Consumer Reports initially said good things, but have now added that, despite it having all those features people have been wanting (to a degree), they can no longer recommend it, since if a consumer holds it a certain way, they can lose enough of a signal to potentially drop a call. It’s bad enough it’s stuck on AT&T (which I’ve only hear bad things about), now there’s this.

I myself wish I could get an iPhone, since I don’t really make too many calls (I hate phones actually) and like the more media stuff, but then again, hate the idea of adding data plans that can bringing a monthly bill nearer $100. It’s a little out of my comfort zone. I’ll stick with Verizon where I managed to get a loyalty plan of 50-min (plus 250-min N&W) for $20. Not much for most people, but like I said, I don’t talk much. I still have an LG enV, which I’ve had for, will be 3-years this November, and as long as it works (and, with the exception the battery drains faster now), I’ll keep using it.

Hehe, as I write this, looks like Attack of the Show on G4 is gonna be going over this during the Loop segment.
