I was pointing out the news in the Tech section for the newely released Iphone. I don't find it great to have a chuckle to my self at a companies error but i DO chuckle when i read something like what was put on the bbc tech section after listening for weeks in the office how amazing and how perfect the device is going to be.

I'm not an Apple hater i have a few Apple products but.... i am an Apple fan boy look at my amazing !111!!one one eleven !!1 device it makes all your devices inferiror hater.

My 2 pence...

Anyway, johnel summed it up for me: **** happens, but Jobs' response to that customer is worthy of a *****slap.

That's rubbish. Everything should be removed that way. You NEVER tug from the cord. EVER. I used the method on that thread to remove the microUSB cable without ever seeing the thread from the start. In fact I use that method for almost every cable there is. Pull your headphones always from the cord everytime and you'll see what will happen. You will break the wiring inside the rubber coating. And then they're as good as gone. As is with many adaptors.

A miniUSB instead of microUSB would have been better, since the cables don't require teeth, but whoever broke the USB port is partly their fault. It's not a design flaw. More like common sense. If you need to tug; you're doing it wrong.

This isn't about iPhone 4 vs N900. I couldn't care less about it. It will not affect me either way.

This is about calling the USB port a hardware flaw. I'm sorry..but most cables aren't supposed to be tugged from the cord. You'll risk breaking the wire. And the Nokia POP port needed the cable to be pushed downwards not tugged. Was that a hardware flaw too?

N900 isn't flawless. This iPhone flaw, despite being one of the funniest slaps in Steve Jobs face (about time), the customer is going to suffer.
IMHO the consumer do not care less. They are equally fast to dump a poor product on e-bay and move on to greener pastures. A visible trend these days is affinity toward HTC / Android bandwagon.

If MEEgo N9 does deliver / exceeds on its promises am sure, consumers are going to come for it in droves.

(Pentaband 3G already looks like a cool marketing buzz word to me, along with who knows what other goodies!)

P.S. I still remember having quad band GSM in the RAZR was a huge deal in the 2004s and 2005.

That's a sad joke, actually I can't believe an official from any company could allow himself to give such replies for customers. If we would have an HTC, Nokia, Microsoft or Samsung device here, owners would get upset and be pissed of - which is understandable. But since we are talking Apple here, there must be some higher meaning behind this faulty design... it is just somekind of feature, not a bug. An if Gadget Guru Steve Jobs tells everyone they are holding their phone wrong - then it must be it. Should the customers change their phone behaviour, or at least buy the "cheap"(*cough*) rubber case for the iPhone.

Maybe Apple just prepared for a new company slogan, after they noticed the "Connecting people" was merely a ripoff from another company:



The least thing Apple could do, would be change the design and for existing cusomers having the issues, give out the rubber case for free.
