iPhone 4 Reception Woes: Dos and Don’ts
Apple may have sold more than 1.7 million iPhone 4 handsets, but the company is under scrutiny over the iPhone 4′s reception issues.

5 ways iPhone users get ripped off
Using an iPhone is like taking a holiday to some corrupt country: It may be beautiful and offer simple pleasures, but you’re going to pay bribes to people who shamelessly charge you for what’s free elsewhere.
Because of that popularity, perhaps, some companies feel it’s acceptable to reach into your wallet, take your money and provide absolutely nothing in return. more :: computerworld.com
Wait For Verizon iPhone 4 Or Get Motorola Droid X?
Yes, that is a tough one to answer. Now that the possibility of Verizon iPhone 4 releasing in early 2011 seems really high, what should all those who wanted a Verizon iPhone for long but got tired of waiting and decided to go for Motorola Droid X coming July 15, now do?

Worker in trouble for snarky iPhone-Evo video
When Brian Maupin made two snarky online videos poking fun at zealots of the iPhone and the Evo phone, he thought it was just a good way to vent some of the frustrations inherent in selling smart phones.
His employer, Best Buy, thought otherwise, even though the retailer, which sells both phones, isn’t mentioned in either video. Friday Maupin was suspended from his part-time job after posting two YouTube videos that slam fans of Apple Inc.’s iPhone 4 and HTC Corp.’s Evo 4G. more :: The Associated Press
