Nokia and RIM Respond To Apple's Antenna Claims
awyeah writes "In response to Apple's press conference, where videos of a few devices were shown losing signal bars with a tight grip, RIM and Nokia have both taken shots at Apple. RIM's co-CEOs say that Apple's claims 'appear to be deliberate attempts to distort the public's understanding of an antenna design issue and to deflect attention from Apple's difficult situation.' Meanwhile, Nokia, noting that they are pioneers in antenna design and were the first company to bring to market a phone with an internal antenna, prioritizes 'antenna performance over physical design if they are ever in conflict.'"
"You're telling us about antennas?"
This is a bit like being stuck on the roadside arguing with your girlfriend about how much gas you put in the tank at the last stop: "We had half a gallon left, and I put in half a gallon! I INCREASED OUR FUEL BY 100%!"
Don't blame me, I voted for Baltar.
"As you would expect from a company focused on connecting people, we prioritize antenna performance over physical design if they are ever in conflict."
Judging by how Nokia phones look, must be a lot of conflicts.
What videos? All I see is "Get Quicktime".
My fiancé's ICrap4 drops calls all day long while at home
Well your imaginary fiancé with the imaginary iPhone 4 is in real luck; she can return it no questions asked to Apple.
Trolling is a art,
I'm waiting for some political scandal to surface that somehow involves an actual gate (maybe a property boundary access dispute or something). All the commentators harping on about 'gategate' should be worth a few laughs.

You're holding it wrong.
... and then they built the supercollider.
I certainly believe nokia's claim..
"antenna performance over physical design if they are ever in conflict."
