"Oh, Mr. Customer...you want to make a call? Don't hold the phone in your hand up to your ear, that's going to fuck shit up. Lay the phone on the table and rest your head gently on the earpiece."
What a douche! This is as bad as AT&T telling customers to remedy the lag in their network by just not using their phone as much!
I can't wait til this shitty iPhone fad ends!
Seems a bit hypocritical to rip on Steve for something that you had to do yourself while working for Sprint.
The issue is apparently only cause when your hand is touching the bottom left corner of the phone. So I assume when he says "don't hold it that way" he means it in exactly the way you meant it at Sprint. I.E. make sure your hand isn't touching the bottom left of the phone. I know when I hold my phone I am never touching that part of the phone so I doubt I'd experience this issue.
