The new firmware in beta shows the new bars, but doesn't cure the problem, no news on if it cures the bluetooth handsfree issues

Why would I want to have such a great looking phone and having to stick on a rubber bumper to keep my signal  :sick:, I like my iPhones to be naked

I still have my doubts there will be a recall. Estimates say it will cost Apple $1.5bn to recall whereas it would cost them $118m to give out a free bumper.

iPhone 4: Silent Recall

http://gizmodo.com/5587029/iphone-4-silent-recall-some-readers-confirm

Customers who have had their iPhones replaced (for various reasons) notice a slight difference in the material of the antennae and report an improvement in reception.

Though this is all anecdotal.

It may cost the millions to recall but surely they are loosing out on sales if they dont - I bet quite a few now will hold off until a fix is applied.

Apple are holding a press conference tomorrow - it is expected that the reason for the conference is to address the iPhone 4 issues.
Wonder what they will have to say!

You know, I'm the type of person that researches everything several times before I finally part with my cash but in the iphone 4 instance, I don't care whatever else there is out there, I'm just not interested.  Never been like that with anything else but I seriously wouldn't even spend a second considering looking at an alternative phone.

Just please, sort out the s/w bugs, mine shut down yesterday for being too hot when it was stone cold and had only just been picked up??
