The iPhone 4's widely reported "death grip" problems are real, Consumer Reports claims — so real, in fact, that the nonprofit group has decided not to recommend the latest iPhone. For those who've already snapped up an iPhone 4, Consumer Reports has a somewhat unorthodox suggestion: duct tape.

Also, the "S-Meter" in the iPhone wasn't "calibrated", so that adds fuel to the controversy.

Won't buy a cell phone without an antenna jack. :irked:
