The redoubtable Consumer Reports says the iPhone 4 can drop connections in weak signal areas when you hold the phone with your skin covering the antenna gap on the lower left side. The non-profit organization tested three separately purchased iPhone 4s in a radio-frequency isolation chamber. The group says a little tape over the gap eliminates the problem (or you could, as Steve Jobs suggests, just not hold the phone like that). As a result of these tests, Consumer Reports does not recommend the purchase of an iPhone 4 at this time. Ouch.

Consumer Reports Confirms iPhone 4 Antenna Flaw
I got my iPhone on Friday, the day after release. So far I'm quite impressed. the signal seemed a bit temperamental on the first day, but has been perfect since the carrier settings were updated.
This phone is fantastic, everything works perfectly. personally multitasking works for me, I don't use spotify because I have always been able to listen to the music stored on the phone while I do other things such as e-mails or using some apps.
AS the iPhone 4 high-definition video clips, watch video on IPhone 4 must be cool and amazing! and I have download the iPhone 4 Video Converter from iFunia, Im ready for enjoying movies this summer on the go!
I am very pleased, it's expensive but it actually feels worth it. can't recommended it enough. Gorgeous to look at and an absolute pleasure to use.
