Anyone else feel as sad as I do? Left out of the reception/proximity issues

Question

I hope of the 1.7 million phones sold, someone else loves and enjoys there iPhone 4 as much as I do or am I completely alone?
I waited on-line the average 14 or so hours to finally get my phone. The experience was incredible, I met a load of new friends and really had a good time. I did get up @ 4am on pre-order day and expecting massive overload, just patiently waited and was able to reserve my phone for pickup, but again, from the noise and complaints, I assume I was the only one in the country who was just THAT lucky and followed the very simple directions. It took me about 1 1/2 hours, but again, I completely expected it, no surprise.
I've always keep a case on my phones, they really do get quite a bit of abuse, so I bought the bumper the day I got my phone. Then the fun began! I was 100% content with my phone, it did everything it was supposed to and then some! The retina display had to be seen to be appreciated and the speed and multitasking is great.
But then, the sadness started... People were screaming that if you hold it just a certain way, your bars go down. Well I wanted to be part of the group, but try as I can, nope, nothing. And I asked everyone else that was lucky enough to have one, nope no-one. Hummmm. Then I see a law suit! Dang, can I be part of it? Please? I always wanted to be part of a class action for ummm a phone who's bar's drop when you hold it jussssttttt right. I mean if THAT's not a reason to tie our legal system up for years in pointless nonsense, I just don't know what would be. It's not like you could return the phone if you have a problem with it, right? I knew once I bought it, I have NO choice but to keep it for at least 2 years. I've read many other posts in this discussion area and why else would so many people bitterly complain and not just return the phone? It really makes no sense. If I was unhappy with a product, boom, see ya!
Then I was hoping I could be part of the proximity sensor issues, dang, NO again!!! And I bet thats also important enough to have a class action and I won't be apart of that either.
O'Well, I guess I can just sit here sadly using my perfect iPhone. Ummmm, sometimes when I hang up, it takes an extra second to show me the screen, perhaps a class action?

I on the other hand is left out because my gf took my iPhone 4 away from me! Because she said I was obsessed with it and forgot about her, LOL. Yeah I was not only obsessed about the nice retina display and A4 processor but also the reception and voice quality issues.
I got the phone on the 23rd of July and was sadden by the antenna.....the Bluetooth..... then the speaker phone.... and finally the proximity sensor.
I live in an area with a weak 3G signal where I experience SEARCHING... when I hold my phone to try to make a call..... call failed..... That's the first call right out of the box on 23rd of July. My 3GS and other phones do not experience anything similar.
I thought I could use a Bluetooth headset to solve the antenna issue. Then people started complaining about hearing my muffled voice. It happened all the time when people called me and complained that they couldn't hear me. So I had to switch to the speakerphone. Unfortunately, the speakerphone voice quality was not good either. People told me that I sounded muffled, choppy, and distorted. I then finally used my hand holding the iPhone 4 in the "right way" and started talking using the ear piece and the noise cancelling microphone. Too bad the proximity sensor was acting weird. It happened when I slightly tilted the phone and everytime when the phone was not in contact with the tip of my ear, the screen turned ON. With me not noticing the screen turned phone, my ear swiped across the screen and hung up my call.
You guys are happy with your iPhone 4 because you are living in a strong signal area, or you may never or seldom use the other features. However, not using other features doesn't mean your iPhone 4 is perfect. Try and go to an area with slightly weaker signal running at 1900 MHz frequency band and take off your bumpers. Use a Bluetooth headset regardless of any type of brand and ask people to call you. If they can't hear you, then use speaker phone, when they still can't hear you, then go back to your "PERFECT" position, using the earpiece.
But that still doesn't guarantee you have a perfect iPhone 4, because you may not experience the problem at the right situation.
