iPhone 4 Antenna Problems

I love my iPhone 4. And it's unfortunate but the antenna issues are real. I have a bumper. Without the bumper I can make the Radio Javan iPhone app buffer by holding the phone in my left hand. And I'm left handed. With the bumper, it's better but I couldn't load a web page this morning holding the phone in my left hand. It worked once I switched hands and held it differently. Irritating.

That said, call quality does seem a little better and it does *not* drop calls when I'm not holding it (#fail?). My 3G and 3GS dropped calls at 285 and 400 like clockwork. The iPhone 4 does not. (I use my car's built in handsfree system and the phone sits in a cup holder.)

This is just my experience. YMMV.
