LoL, i call ********. no matter how tightly i grip my Nokia 5800 XpresMusic. NO bars drop :|
As the press release says, if you don't like it, you can return it.
I don't see why people are still complaining about, and to, Apple. At least they're doing something.
I don't really see how it can just be a misrepresentation of the signal strength if people are reporting dropped calls and data grinding to a halt.
All this does is shift the blame from Apple to the Network Providers, which is reasonable if it really is their responsibility.
If however, this solution may help improve some of the customers grievances then I believe Apple should extend the 30-Day return period to allow for the customer to download the software fix, test their signal and still have reasonable time to return the phone if they are still unsatisfied.
A good article on this issue saying these issues are overblown. From an antenna engineer:

This doesn't fix the fact that the moment I touch the "gap" my data over 3G stops instantly (as seen in the video in my sig).
