Apple’s page of supposedly antenna-impaired handsets now includes Droid X!

AppleIn its latest attempt to put across its point that antenna problem – the issue that has been plaguing Apple’s iPhone 4 – is a part of a number of handsets, Apple, after having already showed video demonstrations of a few handsets at its last-week press event, has now taken an aim at the much-raved-about Motorola Droid X!

The Apple page of the supposedly antenna-impaired handsets already features some popular models from HTC, RIM, Nokia, Samsung; and now, Motorola’s newly-released Droid X.

In its recently-released video on the Apple site as well as on YouTube, Apple has tried to show that the apparently incredible Motorola Droid X also has a problem similar to the iPhone 4’s so-called ‘Death Grip’ – whereby the holding of the handset in a particular ways results in the dropping of the handset’s onscreen signals due to the obstruction from the user’s fingers.

Reiterating its earlier rationale that most handsets have the antenna problem, Apple remarked: “In our tests, the Motorola Droid X dropped from 3 bars to 0 bars when held in a way that attenuated the signal.”

That Apple is apparently going too overboard with its persistent insistence of the commonness of the antenna issue is evident from MacWorld’s Lex Friedman’s observation that Droid X’s signal is not much affected unless users “intentionally” and somewhat “awkwardly” hold it in a certain manner. Engadget too says that problem is not as easily recreated in Droid X as Apple has put it!
