I'm an iPhone 4 owner and I don't think I've experienced this problem, am I in a minority here? The phone is an incredible piece of tech. Don't punish people for innovation or we will all be walking around with worse devices.

I think the problem is that there's a suspicion Apple knew about the antenna problem before launch, but launched it anyway.

Still, if it hasn't been a problem for you, keep it and enjoy it. If it has, return it. No need for frivolous lawsuits.

From what I've seen, you're not the minority. I don't know of anyone that actually is experiencing this problem other than the people complaining online. Also, all reviews I've read have not had this issue, but do mention that a good number of people are experiencing it.

I don't think you're the minority. All of my friends that have gotten the phone haven't had any problems with the antenna and when I actually ask others, they report no antenna issues either. People that are displeased with something will (almost) always be louder than those that aren't.

You're lucky. I exchanged my first one 2 days after getting it. I had the antenna issue when holding it, had it on the new phone, and I still have wifi issues with my Apple router at home. The employee at the genius bar actually gave me scotch tape to bridge the antenna. It didn't work. When I got home and used some electrical tape and finally fixed the problem.
