Lol, worth a shot! My sister said that she broke her 3G after only having it a month and at Apple they checked how long she had it and replaced it for free. Apparently the person who sorted her out said they did it discretionally if less than 12 months old.
I know people who haven't been lucky so it's certainly not the steadfast rule but definitely an option to explore.

Yeah, he's a prick for being right. Well done.
If you're polite/friendly/apologetic (plus female and pregnant) then you're far more likely to get help.
When I was getting my 3GS swapped, in walked some chav who was having problem 'yuh blud but it dunt wurk' they told him there was no appointments and sent him on his way, telling him to try later. Then some stunning blonde turned up without an appointment. She got hers swapped before I did! Lol.

Hey,
Just got my phone4 today (yes I know I'm slow)...I absolutely love it
I've heard about the death grip but is it still a problem? I thought Apple had fixed it?
The reason I ask is because if I hold my new phone in my left hand (death grip stylie) I lose signal. Difference being I'm not squeezing in the slightest, only holding it very gently!
Is this the same for everyone or have 02 sent me out a an original duffy?
Sorry I know this has probably been discussed 1million times already!

They haven't fixed it because it's a non-issue.

It's a problem but it's not one recognised by the manufacturer.
ALL iPhone4's suffer with it, it's just whether you choose to ignore it or hold it in your right hand.
Mine does it on Vodafone, guy I work with is on 3 and his does it and another mate and I went round the iPhone4's in the Bath Apple store and they were on O2/3 and they all did it.
Apple's advice was that it happens all phones so STFU.
Most people combat the problem by buying a bumper to cover the antenna and stop the attenuation.
Ok so its not like you have to hold the phone hard to cause the issue? If I rest mine in my left hand while holding it like you'd normally hold a PDA the signal drops out (completely) within a a 10 second period...With the right hand its not as bad...
If everyones the same I'll happily hold on to mine, I just wanted to make sure this is a problem affecting all iphones (new and old) rather than just a sample...
Is it only the bumper which sorts the problem? I've just ordered a caze case and I'm wondering whether it'll also sort the problem?

Thought that was why they gave everyone a free case?
But in the same respect why did they set up the website saying "all phones attenuate"?

I don't know, but why did they give everyone a free case if there was nothing wrong?
According to engadget review it's "Physics" that are Apple's blame on the attenuation...

I guess not everyone has the time to read through 267 pages of cliosport.
