Reception can be a bit up and down in my house but so far I thought I had the signal problem, but then I did once test by holding the phone in the same spot and tried with both hands (moving my hands and not the phone) and it jumped up and down between three and two bars depending on if I had all my hand holding it or just at the sides with my finger tips. Then however, when I covered the whole lot practically with my left hand the signal jumped up to 4 bars which is the best it's ever been so far in my house lol
Have you got the signal problem Andy?
You happy to keep it then or will you be swapping if its a hardware fault?
Seems like the lefties are screwed
...i use my right hand for my phones so might have to see if it the right hand affects the signal unless someone wants to test it and report back??
AND WHY THE **** IS THERE NO PROPER PICS OF THE IPHONE4!!!!....geez you fanboi's are falling behind

Will be home soon to try these problems for myselfWill let you all know how it goes
Seriously - is everyone that owns an iPhone a "fanboi" now?
Yep more or less
...i havent quite joined the fanboi club...am waiting to see if these problems with the screen and reception will be rectified or not...Now stop yapping and start taking some pics you fanboi's
Just curious mate but when you say "it didn't work", exactly what did the phone do/not do? I'm trying to work out if my micro sim is dead, or if it's just taking a donkey's age to activate.

Actually, if I hold it just right (wrong) then I lose all signal and it says searching. Tried it whilst calling my house phone and made it drop the call.

Sounds like I'm part of the nerdiest gang in the world
I'll take pics as soon as I get home - so expect some within 30 mins or so
Yep - I can confirm this - My 3GS also drops... Either no one realised that the 3GS also does it - or it is a software issue... however, I don't understand how it can be software related

As I said quite a few pages back, I could see it being possible if iOS4 flashed a new radio imagine on the phone (the firmware that controls the antenna, among other things).
Seems quite strange though, I'm sure Apple will identify the problem today and explain what it is.
I really hope so - I definitely will be a little gutted - seeing as we all paid so much for the beauty
Just read this
I just got off the phone with apple support. I was escalated after my refusal to go buy a bumper. The tech submitted the issue to engineering. She said they are getting a lot of calls describing this issue. She recommended buying a bumper. I told her i wasn't willing to do that and would simply return the phone if that was my only option. She asked me to wait until next Monday to see what the engineering response will be. She said that if the answer is the bumper, she would send me a bumper (I assume she meant at no charge).

I cut my sim up using one of the many guides online. It fits into the tray perfectly, but when I turn the phone on it just says "No SIM".
I don't understand why it isn't working when it seems to work for everyone else.

That's odd... are you sure you put it in the right way round?
