apple said a week or so ago that, the problem is not with the phone, it is with the way they rate reception with the bars. They say that the way it is done now isn't really correct. They said when you should really only be having 1-2bars, phones show 5 bars. So something small(like the hand touching the wrong area on the phone) causes it to lose reception all the sudden when it was showing 5 bars. Where as really it should only cause a small reduction in reception and still work just fine, the misrepresentation of true reception is the reason it goes from full reception to nothing just by touching that certain spot.
They say they are updating it to be more accurate and they will make the first few bars larger in size on the phone so they can be seen better.
Don't kill the messenger, just read it off the apple site the other day.
