What’s to defend? Steve Jobs stated that the iPhone 4 drops more calls than the 3GS. If there’s a problem with that statement, take it up with Apple and Steve Jobs.

Yeah. Steve Jobs said it himself. Less than one in a hundred, but more. So, if you made like 100 calls... in one day, then you would drop less than one!!

Oh wait... can you just sorta drop a call? Or do you have to actually DROP it to count. Fractions can be tricky sometimes.

So, OK, let’s say you made 200 calls in a day... then, a fraction of 1 per hundred would be... wait. How MANY of a fraction? Did he say? Cause if you made 200 calls a day and dropped one of those calls, then the fraction would have to be higher than 1/2 of a percent if it’s less than 1 in 100 more than a 3G.

OK OK... so if it’s at least as high as the half a percent, then for every 200 calls you made, you could drop one. I guess. I mean you might not. It’s just an average based on 3 million phones sold in the last 22 days. Maybe it’s much LESS than that 1/2%. What if it’s only 1/4?

Well, then you would have to make 400 calls a day to drop one of them, or have a good chance at dropping one of them.

Yeah, I am getting the hang of this now.

But, what if it’s half of that... I mean he didn’t say... is it 1/2 or maybe even an 1/8th of less than 1... Well, an 8th sure makes for a long day of calls just to see if one might drop. 800 calls in one day... I dunno... I need to check my minutes before I’d try that kinda test.

But seriously... who HAS that kinda time anyway? I mean what is the average number of calls you make and how many drop on any phone? SOME. I am sure. I’ve had calls drop before. On ATT and all the others too.

So, are we really gonna go down this silly math path? If you make 10,000 calls on a Droid you will drop 100 of them, but on the iPhone 4 you will drop 103. This makes the iPhone MUCH WORSE than Droid.

Really? IS THAT IT? That’s the “Fatal Flaw” the “Smoking Gun”? I don’t think is smokes more than a candy cigarette!!

The iPhone 3GS was a resounding success! You, and others who have not used the iPhone are the ONLY ones complaining.

I posted a link to a vidro of the press conference which was not televised. You have Quicktime on your MacBook Pro.

Yes, I would say in your case, ignorance is bliss.

It was a kick azz press conference. Steve Jobs put everything in perspective very handily. I just wish the GOP{ would do the same.
