I agree, reception in a cell phone is way overrated. Steve “Just don’t hold it in that way” Jobs should just rename the iPhone 4 it to the “Touch 4” and be done with it.

On a side note, I love it when someone with an iPhone 4 is actually able to get reception for a hot minute, calls me, only to accidently hangs up when the proximity sensor fails and their cheek presses against the end-call button.

I wonder how long until a recall?

Did you bother to read the article? The engineers say that Apple is right. It's the problem that is over hyped.

As for your concern for the proximity sensor issue, that affects such a small number of iPhone users that it doesn't rise to the level of a problem. We are talking about what is probably a bad batch of sensors, if that. Percentage wise, it's apparently less than 1/10th of one percent of iPhone 4s sold. Recalls simply are not initiated for percentages that small.
