Everything is going bad for Apple these days. In recent iPhone 4 conference, Apple tried to explain antenna issue and related problems of their newly released iPhone. Steve Jobs defended signal reception issue by showing multiple examples of different phones.
This strategy of bringing other manufacturers in the iPhone 4 antenna controversy doesn’t seem to help Apple. The manufacturers have already started bashing the Cupertino based company for pulling their names in the debacle.

The phone packs in an 8MP camera, along with dual-LED flash. The phone also has a slide out QWERTY keyboard, which tilts the screen to a certain angle for the viewing pleasure of the user. This is similar to the Nokia N97. The phone has support for dual-band UMTS 850/1900.
