Alright, there is a new battle raging through the mobile world thanks Mr. Once Perfect; Steve Jobs, who took the stage to address with the iPhone 4’s antenna issue. The CEO, much to our surprise was open to allege the grip of death that causes all mobiles to lose signal strength. The death grip is nothing but how you hold your phone and the brave Steve Jobs highlighted similar problems with smartphones like: the BlackBerry, the HTC Droid and even Nokia.

Apple highlighted the E71 losing signal strength if gripped inappropriately while Nokia in reply stated there is no such issue reported. I agree with Nokia, have been using the device for almost a decade now and never experienced a drastic signal drop owing to handling of the device until today. I just thought that I must give it a try by holding the device in a manner Apple highlighted and yes, the signal strength did drop, abruptly from 7 bars to 1. This was tested with the Nokia E71, the E63 [took a lot of effort for one bar to drop] and another phone from China by the name of Q-Mobile, all three devices had a signal drop, but, I was holding the phones really tight from the bottom area, the way no mobile user would hold his or her phone. I tried doing the same with the iPhone 3G and it didn’t register a signal drop.

So why exactly is Apple playing a cry-baby’s role and blaming others instead of acknowledging the fact the iPhone 4 has some issues [irrespective if they are few] and do something about them. Of course they are providing covers to cover up the loss or something, but hey it isn’t really very clever of them to act immaturely. The engineers at Apple should have given it a thought when they were designing the architecture for the iPhone 4 and figured out an appropriate place for the antennas.

Whatever the case be, at least stop diverting attention by flinging mud at other phones, its unprofessional and plain stupid.
