The test that verifies the signal level shown on the phone (RSSI test) is actually done by Apple, AT&T, and is part of FCC compliance. The test criteria are pretty strict and well spelled-out, I guess it must be a pretty unique failure mode to get past all those hands and eyes.

You guys should try worrying about something that actually matters.

What, like which country won a soccer game?

If I pay hundreds of dollars for an electronic device, I'd like it to be giving me correct information. Not bullshit.

IMO Apple knew. And they gave a sweet deal to ATT to accept their phone even though its reception was sub-par.

I could not give a FUCK about soccer. I haven't seen 1 single seconds of a soccer game EVAR. And will continue that tradition until the day I DIE, my gay friend.

My GF had a Macbook and the battery went out just after the warranty went out. She got a Sony instead nad loves it. Best feature on a macbook is you can get Windows.

I am interested in the Ipod. I never considered it because I thought you had to buy Itunes music to use it and that you just couldn't download songs/torrents. My GF has one and it has a lot of cool features. One thing I thought was cool was the ticket scanner thing. As in you can buy an airline ticket and use your Ipod as a boarding pass thingy. Also I like how it has a lot of accessories.

Apple's main problem is everytime I walk into one of their stores (okay twice) all I can smell is basement nerd.

(see something positive about Apple was said)
