I have heard that this is more to do with the AT&T network in the USA. It was predicted because there network uses lower MHZ.
A friend sent me this, not sure where he got it from.
After the launch, the design was praised by Dermot O'Shea, director for Taoglas, an Irish provider of antenna solutions, who told website Wireless Week that there might be problems with AT&T's network - which is the only one on which the iPhone is available in the US: "In fairness, the cellular antenna – it looks like it goes all the way around the phone, so it looks like they're getting a lot space out of the antena," he told Wireless Week. "I think the reception challenge they would have is on the lower 850 MHz frequency that AT&T uses," he says, noting that the thinness of the antenna could still lead to dropped calls on that frequency.
