BUT, I have not had any problems with my phone losing reception. I picked up two on launch day (one for me sis) and both have no issues. I literally completely covered each corner, no reduction in signal... Not one dropped call. Wonder if this is software issue.

It's not like it's hurting anyone. They don’t have to recall it, just give those that don’t like a it a refund. It’s not like it’s hurting anyone.

I have heard grumblings about the AT&T network from iPhone users, but I have had AT&T for over 10 years with all kinds of phones including Blackberry, and never had many dropped calls till iPhone.

Judging from the problems, bumper should be provided to all iPhone 4 buyers. Ordered mine online because store was sold out of bumpers.

Apple will hold their ground on this. They wouldn't have responded to emails about it if they were nervous/about to change something/give something away. No way. Apple will hold their ground on this.

My friend with his IPhone 4 commented to me last night that he hasn't been able to get it to loose signal either.

I love the iPhone, MAC, iPad and Apple since the Mac Plus...but definite fail! Don't try to rationalise it...even as Fanboys! which I am one! They simply missed a critical fault...should have put that seam on the top or bottom...or coated the metal in something...clear and thin...then as it scratched off...you'd buy iPhone5 beacuse reception was dieing.. I think I'll wait...till this is resolved or iPhone5...I shouldn't have to have a case/bumper! Maybe this means quick refresh! Fail!
