Despite Apple's press conference and lengthy Q&A session over the iPhone 4 reception issues, Consumer Reports still will not recommend the device.

Consumer Reports believes Apple's offer of free cases is a good first step. However, Apple has indicated that this is not a long-term solution, it has guaranteed the offer only through September 30th, and has not extended it unequivocally to customers who bought cases from third-party vendors. We look forward to a long-term fix from Apple. As things currently stand, the iPhone 4 is still not one of our Recommended models.

Once upon a time, CR meant something! Today, their reports, are interesting but their recommendations mean NOTHING! How about checking what they say about Toyota!!!! I bet you find they are HIGHLY recommended. Whoops!

I totally agree with AJ, CR have no credibility for their comment about the iPhone 4. I have mine and don't have any problem at all!! They at Consumer (Communism) Reports think that they have the last word... but not for me!!! And by the way, I don't buy Toyotas even though they recommend that crap!

i bet consumer reports own and use the iphone 4 daily. small problems and they turn it into something huge and say not recommended. they are just trying to make themselve look good, that's all CR is doing now. iphone 4 is the best phone out there. there are problems with other smartphones too, and why recommend those?

As one of the Apple fans I will still buy iPhone 4, as the antenna issues is relatively fixed by iOS 4.0.1. iPhone 4 is the best for the next 12 to 24 months among smartphones in the market; none has come close. I have a 3G and 3Gs, and will buy iPhone 4 when it is available.

Yeah right, it's already way behind HTC Evo! In 12 month time you will be using it as a door stopper.

Verizon blows. It'll have to get fixed because apple would never want type of repuation. They make their products all 100% best they can. Im not stressing this because mostly everyone use a case on there iPhone.
