Absolutely "this is a brick" is an exaggeration... good thing I didn't said that then, huh. And I don't remember suggesting that Apple won't make good, so your pouting charge is still misplaced and increasingly impolite. I questioned someone's, seemingly abject, willingness to take the hit for fixing it themselves rather than putting the responsibility where it actually belongs. The electrical properties of skin can vary quite a bit. One person's specific and firm grip to get good contact is another person's sweaty handed casual touch. That still sounds like blaming the user that finds the problem to me. The guy in the key-test video mentioned that his company's half a dozen phones all behaved the same. Is the press inflating things? They do for everything, so sure. Just how much is a guess till some stats come out on this thing. If and when we do get good numbers, this will make a good example case for the distortions introduced by internet media.

  Apple always does exactly what Steve Jobs says at any given moment. Exactly.

    So having to go through the old "there is no problem", "a little problem that isn't our fault", "ok, maybe our fault but we admit nothing and nothing can be done", "ok here is a fix"... is that your idea of great customer service? Why not just cut to the chase and be responsible about it? You asked me earlier what I suggested, and though you have consistently miss-characterized it, I answered in a way that I think would be a PR win for them. What would your suggestion be then? The old corporate song and dance? Also, you can have the last word on this, if you wish. Since, although I'm pretty certain I've listened to you, I'm not at all certain you've listened to me in this exchange and that doesn't incline me to continue this communication. If I just wanted insults pushed at my general direction, I'd go spend some more time on reddit. Later.
