what about the bad reception and yellow dots? Not to be a debby downer or anything. I was still thinking of picking a 4 up even though AT&T blows.

After reading about them turning off all the displays at CES, including during presentations, I'll lost pretty much all respect for them.

If the reception issue is real, would love to know what the software fix is. Seems like this is a hardware issue, i.e. antenna in the metal band, hand over the band. Let's hope it's not a non-conductive wrapper like the Wii remote protector.

Got mine yesterday as well... AWESOME.

No yellowness issues for me - but have a read here: http://www.tipb.com/2010/06/24/expla...lotch-problem/ (it might just go away on its own)

The antenna thing does happen if you do it just like they show in the videos - but is that a "real world usage" example? Not to mention I have a bumper on order so it won't matter anyway.

Incorrect, the iPhone 4 does not have an LTE frequency radio (hardware).

It will take an upgrade to a newer iPhone, probably Summer of 2011 or 2012, that will support the LTE frequencies.

It isn't just a software update and bam hello 4G.

They've had 4G in most major cities for a while now. It's still non-existent.

Ya, you're looking at nearly $100 for one device with data plan and unlimited text... with the lowest minute plan. My g/f and I are on one shared plan, each with an iPhone, with unlimited family text, and two 2GB data plans... and the bill is around $150 - even after my corporate discount for work.
