Dear Vodafone, I've complained to you about this before (twice in fact) and never got any response, and though some part of me feels that I will be ignored again I simply have to do this.

Ever determined to bring their current PR down to even lower levels, Apple are now making ridiculous claims about the quality of the Droid X antenna. According to Apple, an un-natural exceedingly tight grip placed near the bottom of the phone will result in a dropped signal.
