Look at how the reception changes as I reposition the way I'm holding the phone from the back(where I believe the antenna is) of the phone to the front. There have been lots of talks about "is it the network or is it the hardware". Well I firmly believe it is all about the hardware.
I actually own an older 2g iPhone and holding it in the same spot in any position I want it will beat the 3g iPhone in reception. Now I'm sure you've noticed that I was on the Edge network and that is because we don't currently have 3g in this area.
I really think it is hardware related. Maybe it is a simple mistake made by Apple or just a horribly cheap antenna they use. But I hope this is resolved by a recall or something of that nature. This same thing has been talked about all over the net about bad 3g reception, well I've seen it said about Edge too and that is my case.
If anyone else can explain why this is please let me know. And yes my 3g is disabled so I will only run off of Edge. And please no comments about "oh well just stop covering up the antenna to get better reception". Because if I were on the phone I would be holding it the same way.

so glad i did not waste money on the i phone they suck complete waste of money to china buy American help our economy people! no wonder there buying us out fuckin A!
Well truth, I got a new one straight from apple and the reception is noticably better. Even with the same firmware version. So sorry kiddy, but there must have been something wrong with the phone. I don't care what the instructions say. That phone had defect written all over it. So yes if anyone else has the problem and can go to an att store, hold it next to the same phone with the same version fw and see a difference in signal, I would recommend sending it in. That's what I did. Good luck
if you read the instruction booklet, it says not to over the lower part of the phone [ any phone with a internal antenna will tell you the same exact thing, but they'll tell you not to cover a specific area] because thats where the internal antenna is located -- which you're obviously doing. Theres nothing wrong with your service or phone.
So question... i didn't buy the new iphone when it was 1st realesed because i figured the phones were going to have a few kinks and problems like any other device... But now that you've swapped out phones, do you still have bad or poor reception.?.?.? or is your reception just fine.?.?.?
