    Maybe not about the press conference, but in a quick straw poll of people I know with them, _every_ _single_ _one_ had either dropped calls because of the antenna thing or muted/hung up on someone with their face because of the proximity sensor issue. Many weren't even aware there were known problems - they tended to think they must have done something wrong or the network was being dodgy.

    They're hoping for a proper fix, not a placatory rubber band.

    To be fair, quite a few dropped calls will still be attributable to network issues.

    With almost every product, if there was a problem with the hardware, id want a refund/replacement and not a fix. A software fix, thats fine, but i dont want my new product to inconviencince my life.

    To be honest, I think most of them were proximity sensor issues. People are really annoyed about it - holding, muting, hanging up and conferencing people accidentally with their faces is not what they were expecting. It doesn't help that Apple haven't even acknowledged this as a problem as far as I've heard.

    Also, it's spoiling the image - my brother's mates are TV/media types, and they're getting pissed off that the default reaction to their new shiny is no longer "oooh, I want one" - it's now "hahaha, have you managed to make a call yet?" or "am I holding it wrong?". Apple desperately need to pull something better than "here's a free bumper" (which IMO totally ruins the look of the phone. Why would you want to buy something that looks that good and make it look like a fairground go-kart?) with their press conference - the phone's only ahead of the competition in "cool", and if that goes, there's much less distance between it and anything else on the market.
