Whoopi Goldberg "Murders" Her New iPhone 4 Citing Dropped Calls and Overall Shoddiness
NEW YORK (CBS) Whoopi Goldberg is not a happy iPhone 4 customer. Join the line, Whoop.
The comedian and commentator of ABC's influential daytime talk show "The View" took to the program to express her outrage at what she says was the shoddy performance of her new iPhone 4. Dropped calls, thrown away e-mails - Goldberg's patience wore thin.
"I just murdered my new iPhone," she confessed to her tablemates.
This was far more than some antenna problem, she said. "It threw away e-mail that I got. It didn't take stuff in," she said of the newly released device.
Goldberg's reaction to the gadget was not pretty. "I took that bad boy, I opened the car door," she said. Then she mimed smashing it to the sidewalk.
Goldberg's not necessarily anti-Apple. She says she "loves her iPad." Both she and co-host Joy Behar have them and say they are fond of the product.
She's not alone with being frustrated with Apple's latest updates and "fixes." The iPhone 4 has been riddled with problems since its June 24 release. Apple CEO Steve Jobs even held a special press conference Friday to address the growing chorus of customer complaints.
