If there is ONE thing that I would really want fixed... more than the reception issue (mostly because I can't replicate it).. is the proximity sensor. Sometimes I like to be lazy and use my shoulder to hold the phone, and the way the phone is turned, the screen comes on. This didn't happen with the 3G. I don't know if that can even be fixed by software (just like I don't think the antenna issue can be fixed).. but if it can, thats my biggest complaint.

People have reported issues with the proximity sensor on the 3G and 3GS as well since the update to iOS4, so it sounds like they haven't calibrated it correctly in the software - should be easy to fix.
 
Oh ok good. I upgraded my 3G to iOS4 a few days before I got the iPhone 4.. and I hated it. Half the time.. I would try to access the internet and it would give me an error about the cellular data couldnt be found or something like that. It was awful.
