First, there was no reception issue.
Then, there was but only because we were not holding it right.
Come fucking on. Exactly how dumb do you think we are, Jobs? Sure, we keep buying your iPods even when we already have iPhones or could get the exact same (or better) device for 1/2 the price and not have to download your software and bloatware (read: who the fuck uses Quicktime?!). And yeah, we signed up for contracts with AT&T knowing full well their service was craptastic to begin with and would only get worse now just so that we could get your “innovative” phone.
And yeah, nearly a million people bought a phone that – on the release date – had already been eclipsed in innovation and technology by HTC (HTC beat you, really Apple!?)
But we are not so dumb as to believe that you didn’t fuck it up, Jobs. The iPhone 4 sucks. In an effort to squeeze a better signal out of a crappy network, you made it impossible to hold the phone normally (who holds the phone by the top?). You made an already bad problem worse.
And now, you just insult us.
I do not miss my iPhone – at all.

It appears apple insists on constantly adding new “convienent” features to their products without AT&T knowing how to support them. This seems to be why every new iphone that comes out has numerous compatibility issues. I like apple as a company, and for the most part i dont hate AT&T as a wireless provider, but together they really suck.

What would I know about any of this? I still have a four year old flip phone.
I wish I could get my hands on one of those HTC’s though.

Uruk, it is time to upgrade. You will never look back…

My employer supplies my phone. I tried to get an upgrade, but getting a phone upgraded is something of a power symbol. So, I have to win about two or three power struggles to get my phone upgraded.
I’m not taking on a new phone bill since I’ve got cell that’s paid for.
But that flip phone cramps my style. People at work are starting to text me a lot because they have HTC phones. I just call ‘em back. Remember trying to text on a flip phone?
It sucks.

Lol. Yes. yes I do remember trying to text on a flip phone. I was doing that just a mere 8 months ago :)
Take those folks on, Uruk! You deserve a fancy, shiny new phone! And they deserve to pay for it!
