Mr Jobs has issued instructions on how to hold the phone ..

Steve Jobs responded to a query about the problem from one owner by saying: "Just avoid holding it in that way."

The official advice is to "avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band".

I actually had a play with one at lunch ( A colleague is a fan boi

)

Soon as I held it in my left hand as you do to hold it to your ear it dropped 3 bars from full signal to 1. put it on the desk and it recovered....

Now on positive side, the screen is lovely ( 960x640 res ) although most apps don't use SVG icons so they look blurry. it was snappy in use and did 'feel' quite nice and weighty in the hand although even 1 day in teh shiny back plate already had a scratch on ot so I can only wonder what it will look like of 12 months in pockets with change/keys/etc

I still don't want one though.

Iphones are the most scratchable item on the planet...........for what they cost i really would expect them to be scratchproof....although mine is in perfect condition in my paul smith case

Got the bumper mine seems to work fine, my issue is the need of itunes to control files/media/pics etc. My itunes always seem to naff up and add stuff i want to phone but soon as i plug it in it syncs then when i remove iphone off - ive lost media off ipod again - i have a lot stored but painstaking to keep restoring my ipod. Thought the whole point of syncing is to copy so both itunes & phone has the same stuff

seems my itunes just likes to sync to itunes only, really annoying and is peeing me off the iphone a bit - updates another arrghh.

Just a shame that apple have to have these great phones but dont incorporate that into the handset as far as the phone control is concerned & HAS to soley rely on pc itunes software to add stuff or even updates like other phones do......EVEN contacts i cant save copy to sim either [should the program wipe my phone] u again have to sync it to itunes and then to outlook - does anyone use outlook anymore i know i dont
