The point of Consumer Reports is to tell if the product actually works under unbiased testing and provides a good value.
If a product doesn't perform its core function (making phone calls) without spending $29 more than the base price and the manufacture doesn't tell you that when you buy it, then it is a defective product and doesn't meet their standard for recommendation.

- squidsoup 16y agoFrom my perspective, making phone calls isn't the core function of a smart phone. Things like internet connectivity, and applications are much more important to me. This is why I am still considering the iPhone 4 despite being aware of this flaw, as for everything other than making calls, it is arguably the best device in its class.
