C'mon now, listen to yourself.
There has been no less than half a dozen in depth investigation research and reports about this flaw, and scientifically tested as well.
Did you not see the job postings for antennae engineers that Apple posted up? Even by Apple's own news release they say it's a fix that'll modify the way bars are defined.
I am sure that Apple, at this point, knows much better than making a statement to claim that their fix will actually fix the reception issue. And besides, if they can actually make the reception better via software, don't you think they would've said as such? (Which would easily result in more lawsuits) Stop being naive and lie to yourself man.
Let me point out one more thing. They said this "fix" is coming in undefinable weeks -- that's a joke. It does not take weeks to correct and compile a new firmware to "correctly" display reception bars.
Lastly, your last statement is condescending to say the least. Why of course people can take their phones back. Such a statement removes Apple's responsibility of making things right to their consumers, and that's just not acceptable.

apple fan boys might be the worst. the phone sucks ass. telling people they hold their phone the wrong way is stupid. admit you fucked up and fix the damn phones. release a fixed version and fan boys like yourself will still be going wild for apple.

obviously there is a problem with a lot of peoples iPhones (I am still having no problem). To say the phone sucks as is downright preposterous.

Whatever. All I see in the above is conjecture, supposition and a supposed insight into how long it ought to take to develop and release a firmware update. All your points in your posts in the thread are, as I said, just wild-ass guesses. Nothing more, nothing less. As I said, if you're not happy, take your phone back. That's not meant to be condescending. It is simply telling it like it is. Apple at least has extended the return period if you don't trust them to put it right (and generally speaking, Apple does have a history of taking care of its customers). If you're not happy, I'd return the phone and try an Android device. That said, the Nexus One also loses signal when touched in a certain place...
And this other point you've made only makes you sound like a dumb loyalist. Apple did not extended the return period, it has always been 30 days.
Yeah, keep defending Apple, guy. You sure sound like you know what you're talking about.

Geezus, listen to this guy. How are my points guesses? Did you not read the official statement? Have you not followed all the articles on Gizmodo, Engadget, Redmondpie, etc? (Probably not, otherwise you can't possibly be this ignorant) Seriously dude, being blinded by brand loyalty is plain retarded. I love my iPhone 4 for all its glory besides the antennae flaw; the fact of the matter is, the problem exists and is very real.
