Seriously...
I've had one since launch, never dropped a call in an area where my old phone would have had signal, only dropped a call in my kitchen, where you'd need military-grade hardware to get a signal anyway (walled garden, foot thick walls and rural location...).

It was a glitch in the software that mis-reported the signal in certain situations. Compare that to the Nokia n900s my old office tried to palm off on it's workers that crashed at least once a day, or the Android phones my mates tell me are great for messing around with but which have as much regard for app software QA as Ryanair does for passenger satisfaction and, really, I think I'll stick with the iPhone.

I'm not a fanboy, but I have to say I really like my iPhone 4. I understand that a lot of PC fanboys hate iTunes and iPods, but really, if a minor bug that is easily remedied is enough to get these gimps baying for Jobs' blood, maybe they should look at the wonders of the Microsoft camp...Microsoft Bob, Windows ME, Vista, Windows Mobile (any version), the Zune, that latest PoS mobile that lasted for about a week... you name it, MS can blow it.

It's only headline news because Apple's stuff usually works flawlessly to all intents and purposes.

On a related note, how come there wasn't a backlash when Intel released a bunch of Pentium IIIs that couldn't add up (broken FPUs)? Oh, that's right - people expect PC components to be cheap junk, built down to a cost...
