Don't get me wrong, I love Apple (I own a MacBook Pro and it's just about the best laptop I've ever owned), but this whole iPhone 4 thing is just ridiculous.

And if anyone has an iPhone 3G or iPod touch from that time period, don't bother upgrading to iOS4. My iPod touch is freaking out now, apps are crashing like crazy.
Add to this that these phones aren't just used to make phone calls. If you're playing a game, you may NEED to hold the phone differently, and when you do so you might cause the phone to lose reception and not receive any calls.

Simply put, this was bad design, or a manufacturing problem (since it isn't happening on all phones). Apple should be fixing this...not saying "You're doing it wrong".

I've owned a variety of different phones over the years, from Windows Mobiles to the Android...and NEVER had this issue. Apple claims this happens, but they are talking out of their ass on this.
