Law firm begins investigating iPhone 4 reception issues

Posted by syandra on 3:08 PM

It was only a matter of time, and while it's still in the preparatory stage, it seems a law firm is looping itself into the iPhone 4 reception issue fiasco. Sacramento, CA law firm Kershaw, Cutter & Ratinoff (KCR) has begun soliciting iPhone 4 customers over their experiences with the iPhone 4's famous left-handed signal degradation.

On their site, KCR says:
KCR is currently investigating potential problems with the release of iPhone 4.

If you recently purchased the new iPhone and have experienced poor reception quality, dropped calls and weak signals, we would like to hear from you.

Please call us toll free at (888) 285-3333, click "live chat" above to immediately speak with a KCR representative, or email us for more details.
While there is evidence that other phones exhibit signal degradation when held, the iPhone 4's external antenna systems appears to exacerbate the issue. Numerous videos and complaints have arisen, including folks noting not just data slowdown (or shutdown) when holding the device, but dropped calls.

Steve Jobs has said there (in various responses) a) there is no issue, b) hold the phone differently, c) buy a case. At this point, there's no resolution, but there's also no lack of criticism over the latest iPhone revision.

KCR was also in the tech news late last year for its class action lawsuit filed against Facebook and social gaming company Zynga over"special offer" ads in Zynga's popular Facebook games.
