Some say that all is required is a firmware update to increase the speed at which the phone shifts frequencies when the signal degrades. So it's a bit of an unknown at the moment. But I would say the majority of the 1.5 million iPhone 4s sold so far are operating without problem. you also have to remember this is not just an iPhone problem but many mobile phones experience signal attenuation depending on how you hold them. It is a function of the way antennas work vs. your bodies own electrical conductivity.

Apple has admitted it is a real problem. It is a flaw of the iPhone 4 but not the 3. Every iPhone 4 can experience this because of the location of the antenna. Until Apple modifies the firmware, redesigns the antenna or provides a free case, you may want to wait.
Have a look at this:
