@tasteskindasalty: Cellular data coverage also sucks if you don't live in a population center. If I lived in EDGEville I certainly would not have bothered with an iPhone and EDGEville covers half the country.

@ryoshi: I once met a girl during a party who had just gotten an iPhone and asked if I had any suggestions for cool apps when I pulled it out to check a text.

@Kayno: Have you heard of this exciting new innovation called a "stock market?"

@anomaly_kid: BSG threaded the needle well. They muffled the sounds so that it would seem as if you have your ear to the hull of whatever the camera is pointing at.

@dogunderwater:

Sounds like the Xanatos Gambit.

@fabulousrobots: Axe is the cheapo default stuff at CVS. It's entirely plausible that he just buys Axe stuff because it's cheap and there.

@ShaynaLK: Incorrect. Bod is most certainly NOT better than Axe. In fact, in high school we used to have "Bod fights" where people would ambush you in the parking lot by spraying you with bottles of Bod.

@KingHippo: The iPhone 4. If that's a problem for you, don't buy it. Why is this an issue worth harping on ad nauseum?

@KingHippo: Scotch tape or

@Facebook: I can do most of the basic touch-interface stuff on my iPhone with one hand. 3 fingers + palm hold the phone while my thumb and index finger pinch, drag, and do all that other business. Really games and typing are the only situations where I need both hands.

@Platypus Man: Rumors I've heard have suggested it could be part of a remote for an iOS based Apple TV.

@2matrix: To improve coverage you need money. To get money you need customers. To get customers you need coverage. . .

@2matrix: All phone carriers suck in some places and are great in others.

@Yankees368: AFAIK the GOBI chip has only been in laptops and netbooks. Not in phones. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's a size thing or maybe it's a power-hog?

@Yankees368: AT&T is on GSM and Verizon is on CDMA. It's a different chipset. Typically if they release the same model it's the same phone with totally different chips which means you basically have to set up separate manufacturing processes. This adds a lot of cost which might disappear with cheap products meant to…

@KingHippo: It's not made worse. It gets much better reception for the vast majority of use-cases because of the antenna design. A small fraction of users has a problem with it and there are numerous fixes for that problem. So what's the issue? There is no flaw.

@Allicks: Yup. It works well. At least you've learned.

@Drummertist: I think the drive to keep all their users happy is a noble one. I, personally, would have just said "Hey, you can't please 'em all" and written them off. But at the end of the day, if a percentage of the phone-using public is having an issue with it, it honestly doesn't seem like it would be that hard to…

@strabes: Oh that much was obvious from his original post. At this point it's just a matter of seeing how far he will go before the cognitive dissonance makes his head asplode.
