Feel free to read them. They're only a few pages back.

You're doing exactly that in this next post. The whole thing is blown out of proportion? Really? The problem has been reported from numerous sources, tested by a lot of different people, and you say its blown out of proportion?
Not everyone lives in Calgary and happens to have excellent signal strength from top-notch networks like Telus, Bell or Rogers.

This has been covered already in this thread, with links to some pretty reliable websites... Like Anandtech for instance.
The one thing I'm actually on board with, and the one thing that people haven't linked yet, is the class-action lawsuit springing up in the US to force the end of that ridiculous AT&T exclusivity deal.
Open up the iPhone to some other networks, and most of this crap goes away.
Also, coating the antenna system is a very good idea. As I've already stated, the antenna system gives the phone its best reception yet... Why re-engineer that? It's not broken, it works very well. It just needs to be insulated with a coating.
Edit: To be clear, I'm not saying that the death grip thing doesn't exist. I'm saying that its impact has been completely blown out of proportion. Yes, I would like it addressed. Will it really affect me here in Calgary with excellent signal strength? Not likely.
