Letterman lists 'Top Ten signs you've purchased a bad iPhone'

The iPhone's ongoing technical issues made it to David Letterman's Late Show last night, as he presented a "top ten signs you've purchased a bad iPhone." It's as funny as Letterman usually is -- I especially liked the Pop Tart one, and you even get a nice less-than-sincere apology to Larry King for a previous top ten inserted right in the middle there.

I wonder what kind of cell phone, if any, Letterman carries around. The guy's not exactly technically inclined, and while the iPhone would probably appeal to him if he tried it (how could it not?), he might just be too much of a luddite to even bother.

In other late night show host iPhone news, Conan also tweeted about the iPhone 4's reception issues -- apparently the design flaw in his iPhone is that "people get angry when I talk on it during a funeral." I wouldn't worry too much about that, though, Conan -- Apple will probably fix it in the next OS update.

I think the No 1 way of knowing you have bought a bad iPhone is it says 'iPhone' on it! I think that they all stink, you guys ought to go check out the Smartphone Market, there are an awful lot of phones far better than the iPhone but at a fraction of the cost.

Well shoot... I'm convinced now. Going store to store, testing phones, playing with phones, looking at prices, looking at operating systems, researching specs, weighing pros and cons... all of that and I was still on board with the iPhone, thinking it was the best option on the market.

But now that you've told me there were better phones, I've seen the error of my ways. Thank you.

I was actually looking around the room after each joke because I just couldn't imagine how it could be funny to anyone. The Larry King joke was almost funny and from what I'm told, almost doesn't count.

Oh my god. People think this is funny? #7 was the only one that was even ALMOST funny. It's not that it's about the iPhone, it's just that Letterman's "comedy" style is stale, outdated, tired and sad. I seriously cannot comprehend how anyone could possibly find that funny. What an absolute assclown.

Letterman is an irrelevant dick! He's a moron who probably doesn't even know what an iPhone is!

I am usually not a big fan of those top ten lists on Letterman, this one is no exception.
That "apology" to Larry King was pretty funny though.

I love how I got an ad for AT&T before it loaded.
