Looks nice, except for the fact that it doesn't work if you touch it.

Wow apple. Those 3G disguise cases they used for product testing blocked this from happening. That sucks for anyone who bought one of these.
Just a couple of posts from that thread. If you read it, basically everyone who bought the phone has the same problem.

This is exactly what I'm getting. It's a great phone when left on the table, but the moment you pick it up, it's a paperweight. I've had more dropped and failed calls today with the 4 than I ever had with the previous iPhones combined. Seriously.

We've tried placing fingers in different positions to see if there is an exact spot triggering it, but all we seem to find is that, with great consistency, the bars plummet when we hold it and the palm and fingers come in contact with the sides.

I've tested my new phone with 3G (WiFi on and off) and with just Edge on. They all have the problem. I go from 4-5 bars to none. We got 2 phones today, they both do it.
I did shove my old Incase slider case on the phone, no problems! Sounds like Apple needs to buy all of us a bumper case!
Kinda p*ssed at the moment...

I actually have to put the phone down for a text message to go through...

All I can say is Apple FAIL. There is absolutely no denying it in this case. I miss when their stuff wasn't plagued with ridiculous issues like this.
