I live in a suburb of boston.

So when you bought you iPhone 4 did you notice weaker signals every wear?

Its a 16 gb black i got it from Radio Shack :)
 
More than likely your issue is simply a change of how the signal bars are calculated by the software. An error in that calculation was actually the primary culprit in "Antenna Issue '10" (I refuse to add 'gate' to any scandal that has nothing to do with the Watergate Hotel).

Hmmm, I had a blackjack years ago and when I got the 3G there was a noticeable drop in signal, the iPhone 4 does get better reception than the 3G, but not sure how the 4 compares to the blackjack, it's been a while and I've moved since then. I can say my old nokia and now palm pre get slightly better reception than my iPhone 4.
 
i guess its normal then

Oh well just as long as the signal does constantly drop to 0 then i won't bitch at AT&T on the phone so i guess its the phones fault
 
When I was on 4.0 on my first ip4 I would get about 1 bar more and now with 4.2 I lose that bar. Now I don't care how many I have cause it still works the same.
