Tom, I agree, your issue definitely sucks and it's probably even more infuriating. I've been dealing with my own set of infuriating issues these past few days, including some phone-based ones, however VOIP based.

I'm glad Apple was called out on this issue, since it's an inherent problem with the design they've chosen, even if it is manageable for many (even most?) people. However, IMO, it's overblown and what's really irked me more is the holier than-thou attitudes of other manufacturers. I will say it's uncharacteristic of Apple to mention other manufacturers by name - at least to this degree.

Anyway, if the price were right I'd pick up an iPhone 4 in a heart beat. The fabric on the glove I normally wear on my left hand probably woudn't work to solve the antenna issue, but I'm sure the rhinestones would take care of that.
