I said proof that there is NO problem, coz I believe that there are problems.

@Pberk - The issue will only reach 'critical mass' when the people who have the problem decide +en mass+ that they actually want to take responsibility for their situaltions and do something about it. Companies do not act because people whinge on a message board. But companies act when they are in the media spotlight and there is actual evidence in the field of the flaw that makes for good reporting. There is none of this because those who do have a problem won't prove it (therefor it's not an issue that bothers them enough to actually put together proof), or the issue is so intermittent that it cannot be recreated on a handset with the flaw at will. Eitherway, with no proof that can be corroberated, there will be no media interest and no 'critical mass'. Unless there is evidence to the contrary, this will only ever be a minor glitch that will be swept up somewhere along the line, or become redundant as technology moves along. Apple may have created the situation, but they have offered refunds. The fact that this is a non-issue is the fault of those who have the problem not doing enough to further their cause.

@Pberk - Visual cue? Do you mean a future update is actaully going to light the diode?
I wouldn't have thought people would need much more of a visual clue than a hole in the phone, but I'm also guessing the majority of people don't have this issue because they get that bit. Speaker to ear. End of problem.
The real problem is that business users operate phones differently from the mass market social crowds. Business users tend to operate their phones in a way that requires their hands to be free to take notes at times, or they answer with whichever hand is free and then swap ears at a convelient time in a conversation. The issue is that business users are finding that the iPhone is no longer as business friendly as previous models were, and many cannot alter their usage method for their phones and do not see why they should have to, even if they are the insignificant minority. Fortumately, on the whole, they are also the more educated and capable customers, and I'd imagine the reason this isn't a 'big issue' is because those users are resolving their own issues immediately and directly with Apple,
and what we're left with on the boeards are the social users who do not fall into the general social demographic, and the business and professionals who are not willing to give up and move on.
That also explains why there is no media interest and no evidence. If the issue affested the mass market media savy youth, there would be a Fuqd Prox Sensor Facebook page and sh!tloads of Twitter, and the press would be all over this. The fact that that hasn't happened yet says a lot about the issue and it's importance and who is actually being affected vs. who is not.

What exactly is your concern about who is affected and who is not? You've stated that you are not affected many times.

bro germanwarfare probably has no clue what he is talking about. everything he said in his initial post about the beta and testing can be found in various articles about beta testing 4.1 all over the net. there are plenty of pics to snag too. besides those were some very dainty fingernails he was sporting in his pic
