Regarding the reception thing - this might be a real issue. We have good AT&T coverage in Vegas, and I have 5 bars all the time. But with iPhone 4, if I hold it in my hand the same way I held my 3GS, I can literally watch the bars drop from 5 to zero. When I put it down on the desk, they come back up.
I have kind of large hands, and what's happening is that in order for me to hold the phone so it's secure and not falling out of my hand, my pinky is covering one of the "antenna bands", and the band on the other side is up against the meat of my palm, below the base of my thumb. Apparently this is enough to almost completely block the signal.
Or it's just the indicator going down without any signal actually being disrupted, like Apple claims, but I don't buy that. I don't know how this will work in real situations like talking on the phone, so I'll have to wait and see on that one.
