Let's Hope This Issue Gets Resolved.
This is not a good thing here. Let's hope it is only temporary. Software fix maybe? I am not an Apple fan by any stretch of the measure, but I have colleagues that are. Right now there are two I know that are not very content with their purchase.

Well, they can resolve it pretty quickly by just returning the phone and getting something good.
It's amazing the number of problems that have crept up and the phone has been out a day.
Somehow, every other manufacturer has managed to get call quality right on almost all of their handsets (look at Nokia, when has anybody complained about a weak signal on one of them?)
But Apple manages to screw up the ONLY phone they have to get reception to work on.

They don't make phones, they make entertainment devices and content delivery systems (ipods and ipads); that they happened to stuff a phone in one of them and have an army of engineers hovering over it and only it and still deliver only a pretty face is almost as comical as all of the people whom they have hoodwinked or perhaps only choose to look no further than the pretty face. Such are the times we live in.

I have a case on my iphone 4. Full bars no matter where i go or how I hold it. I truly believe it is an iOS 4.0 issue. Even if I hold my 3G with the "Death Grip", the bars start to go down. But in an iSkin, it's completely fine. Oh well. Doesn't really affect me cause I keep my iPhone in a case all the time. But Apple really did f up on this one.

Looks more and more like a HARDWARE issue....which there is no resolution for...other than new hardware, or redisign. Apple really did screw the pooch on this. I love their fix...just like their "fix" for the iPad WiFi. It is NOT a fix. I am literally LMFAO at this unbelievable eff up by Apple!!!! LOL!!!!

Unfortunatly from an RF Engineering Stand point software cannot fix this unless they change the i/o levels. higher out put and more sensative input. But then you my violate FCC rquirements and possible receive of generate more noise which may then create erros on the network or phone. a relocation of the antenna would be the best thing.
