Just after the post regarding iPhone 4: You’re Holding It Wrong…The right way to hold iPhone 4, now, we share with you the video where dropping calls when you held your iPhone 4 left-hand.
I guess this answers the question whether to buy, or not to buy. Apparently, touching the bottom left corner of the iPhone 4 lowers the “bars” and drops your calls. If you recall from the WWDC 10 keynote, that’s where the Bluetooth / WiFi / GPS antenna meets its GSM / UMTS counterpart.

The iPhone 4 may be one of those handsets that world anxiously waits for and clamors for in throngs of crowds to get a hold of but it’s far from perfect. What always makes for a funny after launch story is taking into account the user experiences and various bugs that pop up. This time, people were having issues reception and, you’re going to love this if you haven’t heard already, the reason Mr. Jobs has provided, is because you’re probably holding it wrong. Tell me that didn’t put a smile on your face and I won’t believe you. You obviously know by now that the metal strip running around the iPhone 4 doubles up as the antenna and it seems that the receptors are placed at the bottom so if your grip just happens to be wrong, you’re not going to get the best reception. Now what would have been handy would have been a mention of the same in the user manual, preferably in diagram form.

As explanations go, this is one of the funniest I’ve heard – ‘You’re holding it wrong.’ What makes it even funnier is that Steve Jobs actually replied to a new user via email saying just this – (picture below).

After this greatest answer from Steve Jobs: “Just avoid holding it in that way.” Great job, Steve, you’re famous now.

Another Android device has been launched called the Droid X. This becomes the 3rd Droid series on Verizon’s offering after the hot selling Motorola Droid (aka Milestone) and HTC Droid Incredible.

What we learnt from the event is that the Droid X features a 4.3? screen, ability to shoot 720p video and it is powered with a 1GHz ARMv7 processor. Unlike the Motorola Droid, the Droid X does not come with qwerty slider keyboard.

Other key features of the device is a 8 Megapixel camera, 16:9 display, HDMI output, Flash 10, WiFi hotspot and support up to 40GB Memory with 8GB on board memory and 16GB storage media included. The Droid X will initially ship with Android 2.1 but with Android 2.2 Froyo update on the way.

Environmental Friendliness is another highlight for the device as it is claimed to be PVC, bromine, mercury and arsenic free. To drive that green statement further, 65% of its packaging is made out of recycled materials.

On Android’s popularity, Andy Rubin, the key guy for Android has also mentioned that 160,000 Android handsets are sold each day. This is a huge increase from its 100,000 per day figures mentioned at Google I/O. He also announced that Android 2.2 (Froyo) is being made open source today.

The Droid X will start shipping next month July 15 for $199.99. Users will need to subscribe to a smartphone service for $29.99 and additional $20 for mobile hotspot. It will be available in all Best Buy and Verizon stores in the US only.

After maxis launch the HTC legend and HTC desire. Just recently, the people running it’s official Twitter account have just confirmed with us that Maxis will be bringing in the 8GB iPhone 3GS and today, ahead of the official launch, Maxis has revealed the subsidized pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S.

We mentioned earlier that it will be close to what Maxis is offering for the HTC Desire and we we’re not far off. With a 12 month contract on any Value Plus plan with an added on data plan, the Galaxy S can be yours for RM1,699.

It’s a pretty good deal considering the specs you’re getting. It’s hard to imagine that just a couple of years back you’d be paying upward of RM3,000 for a comparable WinMo smartphone.

the Samsung Galaxy S brings you an exceptional mobile experience.
4-inch Super AMOLED screen with touch-sensitive controls
