Anyone who doesn't have this problem or thinks it is overblown is an Apple fanatic, obviously, and of course they're all yelling all the time.
> There's already someone in the HN comments on this story who says it can't possibly be true because he's never had the problem with his iPhone. Seriously.
I can't seem to find that. Weird.
> I think that if one believes they are fudging the numbers, either duplicate their effort, or contact Consumer Reports and ask for more details on how the experiment is run.
Nobody said they were fudging numbers, nobody even implied it.
> (...) and with another face, they're hiring RF and antenna engineers.
Ah right, that whole conspiracy theory.
> There are real people who paid at least $200 for this phone who are having real signal issues, but I shouldn't believe them because AT&T's coverage in Philadelphia is so widespread that I can use my iPhone underground in the subway?
I haven't seen any comments recently (here or on reddit) which suggest that the problem does not exist, only that the problem does not affect them.

The comment you're linking is a response to the above: > iPhone 4 owner as of day 1 and I haven't had an issue. I can't imagine that this is true. Seems obvious that the "I can't imagine that to be true" is a response to "remembered as one of the biggest avoidable but unforeseen design errors of all time"
