Here is a statement responding to the attitude Nokia Apple during a press conference in relation to problems experienced by the antenna on the iPhone 4:

As we all see, Apple has to mention “Nokia” in their press conference today about a problem with the antenna on the iPhone 4. Parties Nokia wants to express and deliver a statement of Nokia starting from the antenna design and functionality.

Antenna design is a complex subject and has become a core competency in Nokia for decades, in hundreds of phone models. Nokia is a pioneer in the internal antenna; Nokia 8810, launched in 1998, was the first commercial mobile phone with this feature.

Nokia has invested thousands of man hours in studying human behavior, including how people hold their phones for calls, play music, web browsing and so forth. As you would expect from a company that focuses on connecting people, we prioritize the performance of antennas on the physical design if they are never in conflict.

In general, antenna performance of mobile device / cell phone might be affected by a tight grip, depending on how the device is held. That’s why our phones Nokia design to ensure acceptable performance in real life all cases, for example when the phone is gripped by a user’s hand.

Nokia has invested thousands of man hours in studying how people hold their cell phones and allows for this in the design, such as by having a good antenna on the top and bottom of the phone and through careful selection of materials and use them in mechanical design.
