iPhone 4 really does suck

Steve Jobs is of course a genius, but a phone should be a phone first of all, not a nintendo.

A good friend of mine just switched to an iPhone 4, and it’s the worst— when I’m talking to him there are frequent drop-outs and garbled unintelligible sound if he doesn’t hold it just right (the calls are from his home, so location is NOT a variable). He has yet to receive the rubber “bumper”, a half-assed “fix” for a fundamental design flaw. I’m sticking with my iPhone 3Gs until Mr. Genius figures out that iPhone 4 is a turd as a phone. This is especially true because by longstanding habit, I hold my iPhone jammed into my palm precisely where the problem area is found.

Some people just can’t say what they really think. One reader writes:

Yes, the iPhone 4 is a total P.O.S.. I just sold my 3GS and am wishing I had it back. Nothing but trouble with the 4 and I'm ready to throw it off a bridge it sucks so badly.
