There's one surefire way to solve the iPhone 4 antenna problem: don't let your hand or fingers come in contact with its metal band.
Easier said than done, right? Unless you're willing to constantly use the speakerphone, a headset, or a pair of gloves, your only viable option is to keep the iPhone in a case--or, as some have discovered, wrap it in a rubber "bumper." Read more...

IFixit gets iPhone 4 prior to release, publishes 'teardown'
IFixit, the San Luis Obispo outfit known for prying open and analyzing high-profile gadgets the day they hit stores, has bested its usual schedule. The electronic parts reseller acquired an iPhone 4 on Tuesday night, two days before its planned launch, and began posting a teardown, as they call the gadget examinations.
We published a profile of IFixit in Wednesday's Times, detailing the company's last noteworthy teardown, the iPad 3G, compatible with AT&T's wireless network. IFixit rips open most Apple products, and we noted that the operation's iPhone 4 teardown was expected on the Thursday launch, a conservative estimate. Read more...
