Steve Jobs says that the antenna problem is common to every smartphone out there, and you can believe him or not. What about other smartphone makers though? How do they face this “situation” Apple created with the iPhone 4?
Well, you can come out like Nokia did and try to make fun of Apple with a blog post titled “How do you hold your Nokia?”, assuring your customers that there’s no right or wrong way to hold a phone. They even posted some sort of gallery showing all the different ways to hold a Nokia cellphone.
“We’ve found any of the four grips mentioned above to be both comfortable and as you can see, offer no signal degradation whatsoever. This isn’t a feature you’ll only find on high-end Nokia devices either. It’s something that’s been a part of pretty much every Nokia device ever made (perhaps with the exception of that teardrop 3G one, which was a bit ridiculous).
The key function on any Nokia device is its ability to make phone calls. After all, that’s why we know them universally as mobile phones (or smart phones, feature phones or mobile computers – though the same grip styles work for those, too). One of the main things we’ve found about the 1 billion plus Nokia devices that are in use today is that when making a phone call, people generally tend to hold their phone like a…. well, like a phone. Providing a wide range of methods and grips for people to hold their phones, without interfering with the antennae, has been an essential feature of every device Nokia has built.
Of course, feel free to ignore all of the above because realistically, you’re free to hold your Nokia device any way you like. And you won’t suffer any signal loss. Cool, huh?”
Yeah, very cool indeed. Most of all because you’re trying to make fun of something Apple hasn’t officially confirmed yet.
Stay classy.
