A quick post… a lasting problem.

More news for iPhone4 launch day, Gizmodo & Engadget have both received reports that holding the new phone with your left hand can cause dropped calls and signal strength to disappear. I love new product launch days… gadgets get built up to be like the coming of a messiah, and then you find out you can’t hold it if you want to use it. I’m sometimes glad I’m too broke to be an early adopter.

Apparently lots of reports are coming in that the first batch of iPhone 4g’s may have some duds. This post on Engadget and this one on Gizmodo are chock full of users reporting that their new iPhone’s screen’s have yellow spots or bands… Early Adopter Pitfall? Or, a serious issue with the new phone?

According the this post on Engadget the white iPhone 4g is delayed till late July because it is harder to produce than the black version…

Statement by Apple on White iPhone 4

White models of Apple’s new iPhone® 4 have proven more challenging to manufacture than expected, and as a result they will not be available until the second half of July. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.

I want a black 4g, but I really would like a more in depth explanation as to why the white one is harder to manufacture.
