Wow everyone is sayin that the iOS4 drains the battery like crazy. They lose 1% every 2-3 min. Posted via RS Mobile
are you kidding my 16gb 3GS seems like its battery last forever. i charged it all night and used the internet today for about 2 hours which would usually kill my battery i had the screen brightness down and it lasted me 2 hours and i still never had to charge meanwhile i made alot of phone calls too i was really suprrised i never had to do a mid day recharge...my phone has glitched on me a few times ever since the os4 update- once it had a green bar across the top with a timer and it kept going away and coming back really really fast and when i opened phone there was no call in progress.really wierd
When you guys downloaded the update did u restore your phone first then download it? Or did u restore with all your settings then download it? Posted via RS Mobile

My 16GB 3GS seems to be working fine without killing the battery too fast. Was fully charged today at just after lunch, used it on the net a bit, bit on google earth, talked on it for about 45 minutes total, sent some texts, currently sitting at 77% now
I'm pretty sure it's a hardware design flaw.. The antenna is in the bottom (as required by FTC) but when exposed to skin becomes grounded. Nothing will change that other than "holding it the right way" or buying an ugly skin for it to work as a buffer.
If you plan to drop your glass screen phone 4x from that height onto solid concrete then you deserve to get it cracked, I used to be very careless with my phones, tossing it around, leaving it on the edge of the desk while I eat etc, then one day dropped my Startac II (cost me an arm and a foot at that time) and since then have never dropped another phone (over 13+ years). If you need to be super careless then get a cheap $30 phone, you can drop it 1000x and even if it breaks, just buy another.
The loosing reception while holding it is gay thou, might have to hold back a rush purchase and test it out first.
you could fix it with a rubber band around the phone lol.
a better option would be a BestSkinEver transparent type skin over the metal band.
In theory then could you just put some tape cut to size over the metal band? If it's a grounding issue, that's a pretty easy fix.
I've heard that other phones (like the Nexus One) had the same issues as well with certain hand placements killing reception. I don't think it's really strictly something Apple related?
^ That's Rogers saying that they don't have exclusivity and that they don't want to admit it.
And please, don't call about the iPhone4 because they are too cheap to hire enough quality CSR's that can handle all the call volume regarding the iPhone4.
