Straight Up Legit Question:

If you hold a phone a certain way and the signal changes or goes lower, is that, in and of itself a problem or is it just a normal function of the phone where the signal is always changing under different conditions?

I won’t demand a yes or no, or play any of your style silly games. Answer it any way you’d like. I just want to know if “a change” equals or means “a problem” or if “a change, for the worse, a lower score, interference, whatever you call it, real and measurable, is just a well, NORMAL.

If you maintain connection, no it's not a problem. A phone should operate with an always changing environment. Having signal strength increase or decrease is a way of life, and the phone should continue to do so.

But the key word is "operate". Dropping a call isn't really operating. The primary function of a phone is to BE a phone - make and keep a call. That's where - even per Steve Jobs' own statement - the iPhone 4 lags their previous offerings. It's a step backwards in terms of the primary function of a phone.
