Im more concered about our resale value next year IF they come out with 2nd gen iPhone 4s after september without issues !
"Just return it." Doesn't refer to everyone. The point of that is, if you have that big of an issue with something you bought, return it, no one is forcing you to keep it. It's up to the user. I personally, as I've said, put a case on everything anyway, so I have no problem with Apple's "Solution".

If Apple produced a model with a different part that fixes the issue, then surely to God, Apple's next move would be to offer us the option of booking it in for repair and having the part swapped out?
Jeez, some whiners are just impossible to please. Jobs proved that this is all but a non-issue yet still promised a $30 case/bumper to all iphone 4 users and you all are still whining.
I say kudos to Steve and Apple. They've proven, yet again, that they have the greatest customer service.
Did Apple fail with this model?
Absolutely. 100 million dollars in research labs got you worse reception of all phones in weaker signal areas!
Sorry, that's totally incorrect. I live in a very weak signal area, I couldn't make or receive calls in my house with either my 3G or 3Gs.
I have NO problems with my 4, I can make and receive calls, yes I need to be careful where I hold it, but I'll take that anyday over not being able to make calls at all with the previous 2 models.
That proves to me at least that this phone has improved reception due to the external antenna design.
In fact, Jobs could've introduced the iPhone 5, now available at $0 on contract, with 128GB of space, and given a free one to every iPhone 4 owner, and I guarantee these people would all still be whining.
