what months of testing? the engineers were too busy boozing it up at the bars to have time to test the product.

Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to tout iPhone's new antenna design during the launch. They made such a big deal about the antenna being on the outside and it getting better reception that people probably had too high expectations of it. It could be iPhone 4 has just as good (or bad) reception as any other smartphone but people noticed the flaws more. Maybe if Steve had just omitted the part of the new antenna in his keynote presentation Apple wouldn't be in this mess now. As jobs said in this article only 0.55% of users are complaining about it. Part of Apple's success is their marketing machine (like M$) but maybe this time they were TOO good at marketing.
