quick google shows this fcc sar test apparatus

so, no, no human hands holding the phone during sar testing at least

Come on, be fair.

It didn't do anything like that while the prototype was in its diamond case on its Unobtanium pedestal back at Apple HQ. No problems during it's transparent case presentation and launch.

It simply didn't occur to them someone will be holding it. And with hands nonetheless.

True, nothing specific-- my answer to ysss is in a broader context.

Sequin-studded surgical glove - for that androgynous yet somewhat dangerous look that says 'I'm just making a phone call - or am I?'

We could sell millions! In left or right hand and your choice of attractive pastel colors.

speaking of fcc, I wonder if apple will be able to boost power through firmware upgrade without having to resubmit for SAR test?

I notice already it has one of the highest SAR ratings, so they don't have much room to work with there

You mean like this?

So we are at the "important problem discovered that might kill the product (like missing Ogg support, ...)" stage of the Apple release timeline. Big deal.

This thread just sounds so bitter



n900 - USB port falls out (Who says Nokia products are "Better Quality"?)


See what I did here.


So does using the bumper make things better?

this problem is a lot more fundamental to its function than missing ogg support, IMO.

This is like buying a car that you can't use your feet on the pedals
