my iPhone 4 and the antenna

Today I’ve owned the iPhone 4 for exactly three weeks and I wanted to voice my experience with the device, more specifically the reception.

I’ve had no problems.
By bridging the gap between the WiFi+GPS+Bluetooth-antenna and the UMTS+GSM-antenna, I can make the iPhone loose two, sometimes three bars (depending how good the reception in the area was to begin with). I have yet to drop a call or data transfers when touching this particular spot.

What really made an impression with me, was the fact that I was able to place calls and use the internet at a bar that every other cellphone looses its signal.
In this bar all other cellphones are basically electric paperweights.
