I can't believe people still aren't getting this. Their return rate has been ~1%, they've received apple care calls on 0.55% of the phones they've sold.
This is a non-story blown out of proportion by the press who obsessively over-cover Apple products.
(Disclaimer, Apple iPhone owner, 3G and now 4; no problems with either.)
I agree, but, live by the sword, die by the sword.
Yeah, this is what I keep saying. The experience is excellent. A free case? Sweet!
single finger on one small spot
I'd like to see you hold a phone with a single finger...
I hold my phone lightly, not in a death grip. If part of my skin touches the wrong area on the iPhone 4, signal vanishes.
Capeche?
Vanishes? Seems unlikely: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3821/iphone-4-redux-analyzing-...
Perhaps then this phone, with it's innovative antenna design, is simply not for you. I'm not sure why Apple owes you a differently designed phone. It is what it is.

Not to be that guy - but it's capisce for your future uses.

Are you going to return it?
Honestly, how is it going to suck. You can return your current iPhone 4 now and wait for one of those phones with the insulation already present. Seriously, it seems that in your eyes no matter what Apple does it will still suck.
Yes, if you hold other smartphones in a clam-like grip then they do lose signal. But not when you place a single finger on one small spot on the outside of the phone.
It's good that Apple will be providing free cases, but it's still going to suck when they start releasing phones with tweaked antenna insulation in a few months that eliminates this issue.
