the real reason for bad reception.

If it's of any help I have an iPhone 3GS and I updated to OS4 last week and since then I've had my signal drop completely on a number of occasions which never happened before on my version 3 s/w

I've ordered my iPhone 4 and hope to get it in a few weeks time by which time I also hope they have this issue fixed with a firmware/software patch.

I dont deny for one second that there isn't an ariel band issue on the iPhone 4, it seems very real, however I also suspect there are some s/w gremlins that have been introduced that have exaserbated the problem.

It's very strange to see the phone with all 5 bars lit and a full 3G signal to then see it saying "searching" for no reason (given it's just sitting on my office desk and hasn't changed position)

I also see they haven't implemented the full Bluetooth functionality yet, still no ability to skip tracks, but hey ho at least I can change the volume now ... I can live with that as long as it comes eventually. However I could never live with a phone that doesn't let me phone people .... crazy. There is a limit to how much users should have to put up with.

Maybe the batch that comes in a few weeks time will be better.
