Well, it applies to the new Verizon version, too, says Consumer Reports in a blog post. The magazine generally loves the phone but won't recommend it because of the antenna issue. "It can occur when you hold either version of the phone in a specific but quite natural way in which a gap in the phone's external casing is covered," the magazine explains. As with the original problem, using a case fixes the glitch. Read These Next After girl goes overboard on cruise, 'hero' dad to the rescue.
