It's just brouhaha, fed by opponents.
It does not matter how many decibels we receive, what affects the call quality is SNR (signal-to-noise ratio).
Despite being at one bar, one could very well be able to make quality calls from a sensitive and well-designed radio module like iPhone 4's.
And - yes - they fixed the bar display with firmware 4.0.1.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx)
It's been some time I wanted to tell you how great Ubuntu is. I have been following this distro since 7.04 and the new advancements just rock!
It's the most user-friendly OS for PC, in my opinion.
It has the speed, it runs quite smooth, it contains an app store client (although you still need to enable 'unpure' third-party sources) and my overall impression is "Wow!".
You plug a USB drive - and it mounts on your desktop - very mac-like and better than Windows.
You plug a printer - and it just works.
You plug a camera - and F-Spot takes care if the import and albums - like a free iPhoto replacement.
Check out the F3 button in the filesystem explorer.
Finally, I thought, we have something to replace MS Windows with. I even stopped worrying about MacOS X not being released on PC.
By all means, if you haven't yet, you should try Ubuntu.
But, unexpectedly for me, the show was over when I hit a problem: Ubuntu sometimes disables all network after standby or sleep or hibernation.
With the amount of people who acknowledged themselves there as being affected by the problem, it will be probably solved in the next century.
If you experience the same issue, I pledge you to go ahead, register if needed, and acknowledge that this issue also affects you.
I am not a fan of tweaking system files to re-enable my network anymore.
Come on guys, it's XXI century!
