Here it might indeed not be so problematic but in the USA Apple has an exclusive deal with AT&T and from what I hear their network coverage isn't super, that might explain why the dead grip is a problem for some.

Still it's a high end phone and not a cheap device and the problem was known with Apple so I at least don't find it so "well done" from them but you don't know how complicated the problem is and what consequences needs to be done to make it better so it might have been the best decision, who knows?
Although if a piece of tape already has some effect makes me wonder why they didn't insulate it just a bit better.

Maybe it's the same with the XBOX to save a few pennies by not placing distance rubbers for the disc so the laser can't scratch it, that's the way to go Microsoft.link

And not heat sinking the CPU properly...RED RING OF DEATH!
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

Apparently.

Wonder what the crop factor of the sensor is
Here you go Tim link
7,64 is the magic number.

So, the lens is a 3.85 mm f/2.8 lens.
This corresponds to 35mm film camera equivalent lens of 29.4mm f/21.4.

The poll lacks the third and most important option, "None of the above".

I want a Nokia, there is no comparison for a mobile that allows you to
- make phone calls
- send/receive text messages

That's what matters to me.

Besides, I hope this thread is brought to an end soon.
Best regards
