Oh god, not that crap. Any cell phone out there can be held in a certain way which will make the signal drop. It is a symptom of having the antenna built into the phone. Furthermore, if you put it in any sort of case, the issue goes away. The iPhone is so much better than any other phone out there right now that I'll deal with not holding the lower left corner.

Besides, you could have spent the $200 (or whatever) on bike schwag.

The nexus one has the problem, the Evo or Droid might. The problem is that the 10,000 people that own those phones aren't enough to make the world care. That being said, my iPhone 4 hasn't dropped a single call even though it has the "problem." meanwhile what good is an Evo or Droid if the battery lasts about 10 hours? A phone with a weak signal is better than a phone with a dead battery.

Bc people can always get to a charger? I spent 12 hours away from any way to charge my phone yesterday. Even after streaming the tour from about 8 am to til near noon, plus endless browsing, messaging, and oldspice guy videos on youtube. i still had 30% battery at the end with the ringer off but vibrate on, gps, wifi, and 3g enabled. I'd like to see an Evo do that.

I read a review of a guy who got one early (journalist or something). Said he tried to kill it within the day and couldn't. Even streaming video constantly it lasts 10 hours or so. The wifi hotspot lasts a while it seemed.
I won't have mine for a while since my contract isn't up until January or something.

Anywho, back to bicycles
I'm awaiting the mail man today to drop off my new Fizik Aliante from PBK, hopefully it's more comfortable than my Toupe Team.
