It depends is the correct answer. I can reproduce it sometimes, and sometimes I can't. I'm thinking, obviously, that it's a conductivity problem (sweaty palms or something).
Like I said, I can do it sometimes and sometimes I can't.
Incidentally, the jobs were posted before the iPhone 4 launch date. Don't know if that has anything to do with that.
But Michael, I would say that your experience may be unique. I haven't dropped any calls yet on my iPhone 4, whereas with my 3GS, I would drop commonly. Heck, my iPhone 4 now works in my house with 4 bars where my 3GS would get 1 bar.
