Week 28, just delivered today. 32 GB black
No yellow spot screen issues.
Proximity sensor fine.
Can replicate antenna issue without bumper, but not enough to drop calls. Strong signal area though. No issue seen yet with bumper in place.
Rear camera is phenomenal compared to the first generation iPhone.

Update on mine....
It is a week 25 build.
I was looking at the screen on my iPhone 4 in comparison to my 3GS that I gave to my wife.
It looked a little more warm or sorta had more of a yellow hue to the screen.
Last night after having it for a couple weeks now, I did a comparison of hers to mine using the blue background in the TOMTOM app and boy what a difference.
The 3GS looks really blue but my iPhone 4 looks more of a turquoise color.
I dont have the yellow blotches but it does have a more yellow or warm tint to it.
I then was in the Apple store today and sure enough, the demo ones on the counter dont look anything like mine.
I would use the brightness page as a reference.
Ill probably be returning it and hope I can get a new one and not a refurb.

There aren't any refurbs yet - even the ones in the replacement "black boxes" are brand new. Got a replacement for mine a few days ago in the hopes that the green blotch on the pictures under certain lighting condition would go away, but it's still there on the new phone. Some Apple employees said they have the same issue on theirs as well. Hopefully a software update will cure this.
BTW, my replacement unit is week 26 with really no issues except the green blotch on pictures with CFL lighting.

bumper - yes27th week, so that is the week of July 1 (PFS on July 3 so this is possible).
No yellow spots.
Do have some signal loss when "death gripping".
Not sure on the proximity sensor--I did face dial a digit on the keypad once, but I may not have had the phone up against my face the whole time.

Week: 25
Reception: YES, but not at home next to the AT&T tower
Proximity: Maybe? I had it happen right after buying, remember it being strange that the screen would click off with the lock sound. Hasn't happened since, but I haven't used the phone to my face a ton since then. I often use speakerphone.
Screen: NO
All my buttons fit perfectly and don't wiggle. The home button feels especially phenomenal. The camera could use some auto white balance tweaking though.
