Unlike yourself many people were unable to accept that there was a problem with the iPhone 4. People were very patronising when people were complaining about their experiences. I would like to know what those very same people would do if Apple addmiting that there was a problem, hence this topic.
Got a tip for us?

I don't believe in magical antennas either, but explain how two phones can be sitting side-by-side and one has issues and the other doesn't.
I agree with you completely. Those people are annoying and should be banned from forums for flaming - unfortunately they make up at least 50% of the internet and are always found on both sides of any internet argument. I posted above only to address these two lines by the OP "My phone is perfect" "I'm 100% happy with my phone" - both legitimate responses.
I understand that now. Sorry for my comment. I agree that against those people specified your bitterness is justified and well placed.
If there is a recall, and this is a very big if, than it will more than likely be a voluntary recall. I cant see Apple admitting to acquisitions that all iPhone 4 units are defective (which I dont believe is true to begin with). I can see Apple saying that a replacement unit will be given to unsatisfied customers who purchased their unit during the launch window.
Not at all. You buy a new phone because it's new and has better features. A revised iPhone 4 wouldn't be any better, it just wouldn't have the defect which apparently your phone doesn't have anyway.
I'm no engineer or anything but I'm sure there are other things that factor in. I'm just saying it is the design that is causing the problem and every iPhone 4 has the same exact design. Eventually everyone is going to encounter this problem. Me and my buddy bought the iPhone 4 the same day. He rarely had good service and always dropped calls everywhere. I have only have one dropped call and usually have full service except in a few areas. We live right next to eachother.
I don't know what else to factor in either. I don't have the answers. It doesn't make sense to me though.
My only issue with your statement is "Eventually everyone is going to encounter this problem." Why so? I have a phone that hasn't encountered it yet. Its been in multiple states across the country.
I have never denied that some people were having problems. I have just stated that I am not having any problems with mine. Big difference.
Let me tackle this. My iPhone has worked since day 1 and i will not be returning it. I'm not a lemming and i don't follow what other people do. So stand in line if you want to return yours.
But i won't be there because i'm keeping mine. Now you can be a cynic all you want. Really doesn't matter to me. Mine works End of story.
I get very tired of seeing people insisting that everyone has a defective unit or making snarky comments like the one you just made. You obviously have some type of mission to be right. Well your obsession with this issue will prove rather futile.
Or I was just playing devil's advocate like I wrote? I didn't insist anything. I posed a scenario. Relax
Do you know that people have been looking for video evidence of this for the last month? There is an entire thread dedicated to it.

Perhaps you could oblige?
Edit: In fact that thread has the same OP as this thread: Citrate.
I'm sure he'd love to see your 2 iPhones behaving differently in the same location - I know I would.
thanks
Hand someone else your phone and come to Texas we have a lot of open space you'll encounter the problem eventually! lol
I have a bumper on mine so really no problem but if they did do a recall I'd still trade mine in...
Being in a line to return a defective phone makes you lemming? How dare I want a perfectly working phone after paying money. It also isn't a simple case of returning it since I sold my 32GB 3gs. I would either have to buy a used 32gb 3gs, buy an 8 gb 3gs new, or get a different phone. However, I would lose all the apps I have purchased.
No, I will not. They way "people" where acting in that thread, I felt that anything I posted was going to be ripped apart and ridiculed. I wouldn't have had them close enough, or I wasn't gripping one tight enough, etc. It wasn't worth my time and still isn't.
