Drop calls still with iPhone 4

I just got my new iPhone 4 today and test it out with my old 3GS. I still have drop calls plus my 3GS has more bars than the new iPhone 4. *** can Apple and AT&T fix this problem. They both had 3 years to fix this problem. Does anybody else have this problem.

Yes, Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal talks about it in his review of the phone. He doesn't recommend buying one if you are in a weak signal area, unless you carry a backup phone from another network.

OK in total of IPhones since September 30,2009 I have gone through 8 Iphones, i purchased the IPhone 4 back in August 24 2010, and just three days ago had to exchange it and am now on my 3rd IPhone 4 and has already dropped as many calls as I make. Apple tells me there was no issue but I have friends on the same network with blackberry's and have never dropped a call. I am seriously disappointed in wasting 800$ for an unlocked phone that I cannot make phone calls with, does anyone have any type of solution? or is it back to the apple store for my 4th Iphone 4 and 9th Iphone altogether. Please If you know of anything if would be appreciated.

I had the same issue with my Iphone 3GS and my husbands Iphone 4. I live in the middle of San Diego and would only have one to two bars of signal and would drop 3/5 calls. I finally got AT&T to give me a credit on my account to enable me to purchase a microcell for my home. Finally fixed the problem. Not perfect but still thousands of times better than before. I think the main issue is AT&T's network.

Just keep waiting for Verizon....Fingers crossed...
