okay go and have another search online apparently it isn't effecting all iphone 4's

But also note apparently the bumper case apple sell will solve the issue.

You also forgot the screen issue a few are people are having as well.

although it won't stop me from getting one but not just yet another week maybe...

Actually, it's not quite as simple as that :(

There are 3 "aerials" in the iPhone which are the metal edges - each of them separated from the other by a small black plastic (I guess) strip.

When you hold the phone in the way most people will, you're likely to "connect" the bottom aerial and one or both of the side areials with your hand. When that happens, over a short time (about 30 seconds) you lose ALL signal (signal bars disappear and are replaced with "No Service".

Apple reckon it's a software issue with only the display of signal bars on the screen affected, but it is proven to not be that at all (by a youtube video of someone with two phones calling each other, and then making the signal disappear - the call is cut off!

Their aftermarket bumper cover thingy fixes the problem, but I don't want to cover my phone like that, so there should be another fix. Fingers crossed they can resolve it in software :D

In my limited testing of this issue, it has reduced the signal by half in a strong signal area - weaker signals will disappear completely - and it is reproducible every time.

Cheers,

Oh Very Very Dear:

"iPhone users having reception problems are just holding the phone wrong, according to Apple, which have released an official fingering guide for those who want to be able to make calls."

So now you have to hold your phone a specific way.
They will end up bringing out an accessory that offers to strap it to your head for you so there's maximum signal because you're using 'hands-free'


and whats funny, if you have seen there ad's they are all holding it in the way that would cause this problem..

Well I picked mine up yesterday (yep queued!!) and have to say it's just superb!! Have not experienced any of the issues reported and LOVE IT !!
