⇥ Ten ways to solve iPhone 4′s antenna problems

1. Duct-tape the metal band around the phone. Not as colourful as Apple’s bumpers, perhaps, but for $30 you can probably buy the United States’s entire supply of duct tape.
2. Duct-tape your hand to prevent it from shorting the antenna.
3. Duct-tape the phone to your head¹.
4. Hold the phone to your head using a stick with a suction cap.
5. Hold the phone upside down (note: you may have to speak a little louder for this method to work).
6. Attach the phone to the base and swivel arm from an iMac G4 to avoid touching the antenna. Makes for a trendy combo, especially when you’ll be able to get your hands on a white iPhone.
7. If you’re a leftie, learn to hold the phone in your right hand. If you’re right-handed, learn to hold the phone with the Force.
8. Speaking of the Force, this is not the problem you were looking for. Move along now.
9. Don’t call Apple customer support. Steve can only answer so many e-mails in any given day.
10. Google for solutions from antenna experts directly from your iPhone, only to find out that, in a case of extreme bitter irony, the entire antenna-expert industry has converted all its websites to Flash
11. It’s all the folders’ fault.
