I initially reported that I was not having the reception problem though I can now replicate it. The bars representation may not be the most obvious way to see if you are having problem as if you have a very strong 5-bar signal it will not drop to 4-bars until you lose a lot of reception. This is not necessarily a problem when you are talking in a voice conversation as it is hard to quantitatively describe the voice you hear/transmit. However, if you run a 3G speed test the problem for me is most apparent. I lose about 50% of my speed when I cover the gap and run a speed test. I am hoping Apple man's up and at least recognizes they are having a problem. I don't really want to put a case on my phone and I hope Apple does the right thing and fix the hardware, even if it will cost them millions. Another problem I am now having in some situations with my phone is that the proximity sensor is not sensitive enough and the screen keeps turning on while I am talking on the phone and accidentally hanging up on people I am talking to. I think this is more of a software problem that I hope can be addressed in the very near future.
