May I ask for a source of your statement?

Also, as a cultural nitpick/offtopic, most Hungarians would claim their country is not East European, but rather Central European geographically and West European culturally/politically.

Note how it took the n97 a whole minute of interference to drop to two bars, check the iPhone one in the same series....

Goes down to 1 bar in 10 seconds just before it drops signal completely the user removes the hold.

What is the point of these tests? Apple could manipulate the signal that those phones are receiving as well

Yeah, this "test" is a joke. What they shoud do is stick all them phones someplace with shitty signal and start making calls.

In a comprehensive study of the mobile broadband network performance of mobile carriers around the world, ARCchart reveals that T-Mobile Hungary has the best overall performing 3G network, supporting average download and upload data speeds of 1,605 kbps and 194 kbps respectively, and an average latency of 212 milliseconds. The carrier's download throughput is almost 60% higher than the average for all UMTS carriers worldwide.
OUCH! hahaha..

2bars over 3.5G but after 3.5G is lost then 2.5G or 2G will be on. I see no flaw lol

Made a video to show that N900 does not lose signal, atleast not with 3 in Sweden.

Remember: bars mean nothing. One could theoretically make it so that it's like this:
-90 dBm = 5 bars
-91 dBm = 4 bars
-93 dBm = 3 bars
... and so on ...

Every 3 dBm you increment/decrement means two times the signal you're getting/not getting. So, if Apple did this comparison with dBm, there might be some legitimacy.

In my test, I only covered the lower-right corner with my thumb and the signal bar started to decreasing immediately. I did not hold the phone in my hand.

This is the only problem with the iPhone 4. It works just like other phones except at A&T in the USA.

I think the real problem is Steve Job's huge, arrogant and thick-skinned face. It was funny for the first time, but now it is boring. And this means Apple does its best, you are only reading about iPhone 4 in every News, and N900 is fading.

And I'am in the EU where Nokia is (was) the leader of the mobile technology area, not Apple. But it is seems to be changing.

Seriously Apple, give up on this one. There is no excuse for such perfomance given the obvious design risk and testing you undertook.

Accountability means if you mess up you pay.
