Solution to the iphone 4 reception problem

I believe Apples solution of giving away a bumper is lame.

The entire design of the external antenna is erroneous. The points of where the antennas meet should have been either put on the top of the phone minimising the likelihood of bridging whilst holding the phone or the whole of the antenna should have been coated or sheathed with a transparent material so they do not short when bridged.

I find the sweatier my palm is, the quicker the signal drops, I believe this is because sweat (water salt solution) is an extremely good conductor. I also found wearing a rubber washing up glove stops the problem. Maybe Jobs can give these free instead of the bumpers. It’s a lot cheaper!
