Glad to see there's an easy fix.

hah at least Steve Jobs replied.
What does Nokia do to questions ? Pretend to be deaf and dumb and don't answer you at all.
But hey, I'm sure he still thinks "the antenna engineering is cool".

@gerbick: do you mind testing if putting a layer of tape over the offending lower-left metal band area can have a positive effect to this 'bug'?
(I'm thinking invisible shield material, but any non-conducting tape should do, right?)
What's weird is how I tend to almost "palm" the phone most of the time naturally, a carry over from my iPhone 3GS I guess. But the owner of the iPhone 4 is holding it differently than I tend to. I palm and hold the top part of the phone - I'm usually walking and I know it could shoot out of my hand forward that way.
But yeah. The bumper actually does avoid that. And I finally figured out why my pants that day caused a problem with the bluetooth reception. It was making contact with a rivot, that was grounded on my skin. So... I fear this is just the start of some woes.
A bumper though, or case solves that. Or... as you've listed above, cover the gap somehow.

"Hey baby... the rivots in my pants are transmitting bluetooth. You want to check out my radio tower?"
Glad to see there's a simple fix for it, but it's going to be a black eye for Apple for a while. To have missed such a common-use issue will make the heard itchy for a bit about buying iTech. I'm sure it will be long forgotten by time the iPhone 5 comes out though.
I'm willing to bet that their solution will be to offer a coupon for a free bumper to every iPhone 4 purchaser. Small price to pay for the good PR it will generate, and if there's one thing Apple knows how to do, it's PR.

You emitted bluetooth through trouser studs? Isn't that .... erm ... detrimental uhh to other equipment?
As a side note, does blue-tooth emitted too close to uhm, stuff, induce blue-uhm, equipment?

The poor girl assigned to watch over this looked really bored.
This just shows that Apple may not have the resource to pull off 2 major releases (+iPad) as smoothly as they have in the past. But I think metronomic release schedule is a good thing in general.
People loves predictable pattern. The market loves predictability.
Btw, seeing the iPad adoption around me... I've never seen (normal, non-geek) people reacting so positively toward a computer\mobile-related gadget as iPads in the past. It does so many things right, it ain't funny.
Speaking to people about ipad has yielded things like "it is a big iphone" "it costs more than my laptop and doesn't run word" and my personal fave "it doesnt have a camera (acts surprised) what is the point of the ipad"
the only apple junkies i know "might get one for xmas" but wonder when they would use it rather than their iphones or macbooks. And that is the response most people have had. Only apple think their is room between laptops and smartphones and I genuinely will be surprised if ipad is not another appletv within 2 or 3 years.
YMMV
