Your opinion regarding iPhone 4 signal issue please.

Ok buying a new iPhone tomorrow, currently, have the 3GS, which am quiet happy with, but am in a complex situation, with vodafone uk, wereby, I need to decide within 7 days, whether to choose an iPhone 4 or something else. Now the only worry I have is the signal of the iPhone4, which I have come to get used to on my 3GS, and can live with it, cause I bought the handset cheaper, however the iPWhone is going to cost me at least a thousand pounds in contract for 2 years, so want to make the right descision. So like I have said, having read a lot of info and it appears, thez, not much difference, in terms, of the signal, between, the 3GS and iPhone 4. Intact, most are actually claiming better signal, on the 3GS. So is this the case, please please, help me out, with this answer, as I desperately, need to make a descision, on whether or not to stay, on my 3GS, based on signal.

The signal should be better on the iphone4 as the antenna is now on the outside of the phone the side metal band.But thats where the problem is with signal drop when you hold it a certain way.The problem is solved if you use a case ( you get a free one from Apple up until Sept 30th )and you might not even notice a problem if your in a strong signal area.

Do you really need to upgrade? Have you looked at iPhone SIM Only deals? This would save you a lot of money.

The signal problem on the iPhone 4 was blown way out of proportion, it's no worse than any other smartphone, and much better than the 3gs you currently have.
