It is highly possible for them not to know about the antenna issue...when you do a test for signal you usually would not touch the device..you would leave a testing program on the phone and drive around by car to see the results....

I do not think an engineer can just knock on Steve Jobs door and say "hey here is a possible problem with the antenna"...neither do I think Steve Jobs is actually sitting there designing the phone himself...

So it is highly possible that engineer can submit a claim for this bug and it was under low priority...

If you think about it, humans do a lot of amazing things but end up overlooking the most simple of things...I remember reading an article about some equation which none of the mathematicians could solve for years, and a college kid solves it by accident cause eh thought it was homework...

Either way it is neglect on Apple's part...and it is not surprising considering apple is pretty new to the cellphone business...in their attempt to make the phone as thin as possible gave way to this overlooking...By next version they will most likely learn from it :/
