    When I saw "lefties", I thought you meant this crowd.

    They'd probably prefer to be accused of discrimination than criticised for poor design

    Is this about holding iPhone 4 in left hand and losing signal?

    I've seen a lot of right handed people hold their iPhone in left hand and tap away with their right.

    Why are people branded "lefties" if they protest against something they consider to be a danger?
    (I'm not advocating a position of pro or against their argument - just asking on a point of interest)

    Can a left-hander get a bit of love in this right handed world? :o

    My left hand gives me plenty of love.

    The Times and The Mail do have them too. ;)

    Here's a big pair of tits for example!

    It's about time we had some discrimination against left handed people.

    Sick of all this politically correct stuff with regards to left handed people.
    The amount of times I've gone to buy sports related equipment in sales only to find that there is only left handed stuff left.
    It's a disgrace, I say they should just cut off their left hands and learn to uses their right hands like the rest of us.

    Bloody weirdos.

    Because those on the right always assume themselves to be right and consider those on the left to be sinister.

    Ha! You sound like my uncle's primary school teacher from 40 years ago, he used beat my uncle just because he was left-handed, he ended up barely able to write a thing because of him. (sees that he has turned jokey topic into serious depressing one) But good joke nonetheless. :p

    In fairness left handed people are abominations.

    i have a mental image of steve jobs inflicting a verbal raping of the guys who let this happen.

    Does anyone think that this will mean that iPhone 4 might not go the full year before being upgraded to iPhone 4s.

    Hopefully this is something that can be fixed in time for full global release.

    the teacher obviously knew that that the left handers are the spawn of Satan.
    Beelzebub himself was a left hander, it's written so in the bible (somewhere near the back).
