Seems like it's an issue where holding it a certain way can affect signal strength. Then again a couple of tech review sites that I've had a read of say they couldn't replicate the issue.

But what would an iPhone be without reception issues
too true lol, problem is the certain way you have to hold it to loose signal is the way most people do, you pretty much can't touch the bottom sides. Or just use a case to insulate the antenna. Either way for a phone that costs as much as it does a problem of this size isn't acceptable.

Over 50 examples on gizmodo. Love Apples response as well..not

Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone. If you ever experience this on your iPhone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases.
Basically acknowledging there is a problem and saying tough ****, we made it, you bought it, deal with it.
