Well, Apple has posted a new video showing N97 Antenna Performance, It shows this Nokia Mobile with bad antenna the same as iPhone 4, Apple posted notes about N97 reception on Antenna Site saying that when holding it, it goes from 7 bars to 2 bars, I think Nokia won't be happy by this video!

Couple of days ago in iPhone 4 Press Conference, Steve Jobs announced that they will offer free Bumpers for iPhone 4 Users to solve Reception issue, But If you don't like those Bumpers or need another idea and not expensive, Ok you can buy an Antenn-aid for Only $4.99
Antenn-aid is like a protector for iPhone 4, it's small, easy and not expensive, You will put it on the left side of the iPhone 4 which causes the Reception issue, Then it will work for you, For myself I would do that better than dressing my iPhone 4 with a bad Bumper!
You can Buy Antenn-aid only for $4.99 by Navigating your browser to this Site and get your one! [via Mashable]

TUAW has just reported that if you got iPhone 4 Reception problem and issue, then you might use Network Reset Method, There's confirmations from some developers that it worked well with them, Also Federico on Macstories worked with it, but he lost some Wi-Fi passwords, hah!
To Reset your Network just go to "Settings" on your Home screen, then "General" scroll down till you find "Reset" touch it and tap to "Reset Network Settings", That's it.
Hope you tell me if you got any results!

Do you remember that Conversion with Steve Jobs and Tom from Boy Genius Report. After Apple said it's a fake and Steve Jobs didn't do such a conversion, Now Boy Genius Report says that Steve Jobs email wasn't fake and it was real, they have proves and they got a perfect post!
Here's a good part in the post:
Here's a good part in the post:
On to the Steve Jobs emails.Another good part:
Jason Burford, someone who we have never worked with in the past, emailed us and said that he had a pretty interesting email conversation with Steve Jobs and wanted to share it with us, but wanted to be compensated. He sent us the email headers and we had some of our independent tech guys verify the email header information and then inform us whether they were legitimate. Their response was yes, that they were legitimate, and that the entire thread would be extremely hard to fake, if not impossible. After speaking with Jason and getting more background, I decided to run that story. There was an error in my write up where the last line in the article was written to be said by Steve Jobs, when in fact it was Jason who emailed that in reply to Steve Jobs.
Let’s go over it one more time… someone who wanted to remain 100% anonymous and only asked to be paid a nominal fee of a couple hundred dollars lied and completely made up this entire thing? Someone who showed me in his AT&T call records more than two calls from Apple representatives (Texas phone numbers, confirmed to be Apple Customer Relations) on the exact dates he said they called trying to resolve the situation after he had emailed Steve Jobs? Someone who repeatedly emailed me and the BGR staff to correct the last line in my story since it wasn’t accurate? Someone who has now had his name revealed to the public via a tasteless article from AppleInsider, and is now being called by reporters non-stop asking about this article and whether his exchange is true or not? They still wouldn’t admit this was fake? No, you know why? Because it wasn’t fake.Hey, they got the real proofs there on their post, check the full post with title "The entire Steve Jobs email story… It’s real" from BGR here. Stay tuned for more news!

Apple found their customers object and complain about the Reception issue in the iPhone 4, so they have dumbed their Restocking fee of Returning iPhone 4s. Yes, now you can return your iPhone 4 within 1 month from the arrival [Only 10% fee for Opened!], check the iPhone Return Policy after the jump..
[Source: Apple, Via TechCrunch]
iPhone Return PolicyApple typically charges $19.90 for a returned 16GB iPhone 4 model, and $29.90 for a 32GB device. I think 20$ or 30$ are not much! If you waited till Apple releases it's new update [iOS 4.0.1] you may miss this offer.
If you are not satisfied with your iPhone purchase, please visit online Order Status or call 1-800-676-2775 to request a return. The iPhone must be returned to our warehouse within 30 calendar days from shipment to avoid an $175 early termination fee. The iPhone must be returned in the original packaging, including any accessories, manuals, and documentation.
Apple will assess a 10% restocking fee on any opened iPhone. Shipping fees are not refundable.
Note: iPhones must be returned to the original point of purchase (e.g., Apple Online Store, Apple Retail Store, AT&T, Apple Authorized Reseller) with a proof of purchase (e.g., Shipment Notification, Invoice Receipt).

Great news for all iPhone 4 users, Apple has just released press release regarding Reception issues in iPhone 4, they send it as a letter and they are saying that fix will be soon, may be in few weeks. Read the full Statement after the jump..
Didn't understand yet? I will tell you what's going up there! Remember iOS 4.0.1, yes Apple is going to release iOS 4.0.1 or may be iOS 4.1 and it will fix iPhone 4 Reception issues.
Update 1: Gizmodo has reported that this will not change anything and will not fix anything. it's all about wrong antenna design and this update won't be the solution, Read more on Gizmodo.
Dear iPhone 4 Users,[Source: Apple]
The iPhone 4 has been the most successful product launch in Apple’s history. It has been judged by reviewers around the world to be the best smartphone ever, and users have told us that they love it. So we were surprised when we read reports of reception problems, and we immediately began investigating them. Here is what we have learned.
To start with, gripping almost any mobile phone in certain ways will reduce its reception by 1 or more bars. This is true of iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, as well as many Droid, Nokia and RIM phones. But some users have reported that iPhone 4 can drop 4 or 5 bars when tightly held in a way which covers the black strip in the lower left corner of the metal band. This is a far bigger drop than normal, and as a result some have accused the iPhone 4 of having a faulty antenna design.
At the same time, we continue to read articles and receive hundreds of emails from users saying that iPhone 4 reception is better than the iPhone 3GS. They are delighted. This matches our own experience and testing. What can explain all of this?
We have discovered the cause of this dramatic drop in bars, and it is both simple and surprising.
Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong. Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display 4 bars when we should be displaying as few as 2 bars. Users observing a drop of several bars when they grip their iPhone in a certain way are most likely in an area with very weak signal strength, but they don’t know it because we are erroneously displaying 4 or 5 bars. Their big drop in bars is because their high bars were never real in the first place.
To fix this, we are adopting AT&T’s recently recommended formula for calculating how many bars to display for a given signal strength. The real signal strength remains the same, but the iPhone’s bars will report it far more accurately, providing users a much better indication of the reception they will get in a given area. We are also making bars 1, 2 and 3 a bit taller so they will be easier to see.
We will issue a free software update within a few weeks that incorporates the corrected formula. Since this mistake has been present since the original iPhone, this software update will also be available for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G.
We have gone back to our labs and retested everything, and the results are the same— the iPhone 4’s wireless performance is the best we have ever shipped. For the vast majority of users who have not been troubled by this issue, this software update will only make your bars more accurate. For those who have had concerns, we apologize for any anxiety we may have caused.
As a reminder, if you are not fully satisfied, you can return your undamaged iPhone to any Apple Retail Store or the online Apple Store within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.
We hope you love the iPhone 4 as much as we do.
Thank you for your patience and support.
Apple
