Sure, needing a piece of scotch tape on the World's sexiest phone isn't what Jony Ive intended, but here's the cheapest way to solve the famous iPhone 4 signal loss problem: The honor belongs to Fast Company, who also point out that not every iPhone is necessarily affected by the widely reported snag and advises us all to calm down a bit.
What the fault is: We've learned that sweaty fingers can bridge the gap between the GSM and WiFi antennae, which can cause dropped calls.
Solution: Get some sticky tape and paste about an inch of it across the gap and to either side of that gap. Be sure to stick it around the phone's metal edge, making sure that all of the back of the edge's metal strip is covered.
Effect: Call your friends, and get on with bragging about how YOU have an iPhone 4 even while the hapless reporter here sits wondering how he'll ever get one.
Full disclosure: I do have an iPad and have become quite addicted to Gameloft's CastleCraft. Is this really such a crime?
