Well, 4.01 came out, and I tried to install it. Half way through, iTunes gave me error 3004 (what-ever that is), and stopped. Now, the iPhone won't talk, won't reboot (black screen), and, when I attach it to the Mac, and iTunes starts, iTunes says that it is unable to connect to the iPhone software update server. I'm obviously online, since I'm sending this message from the same computer where I was trying to update. Looked online, and some other people are having this problem, too, with no solution. Been trying to re-update for about 3 hours now, but no luck. Doesn't look like there is any way to back out the update, or reset the phone and restore from a backup, since I get this error every time I attach the iPhone. Looks like my phone has been successfully bricked.
Maybe Apple tech support will have a suggestion tomorrow, but, since it appears that the phone isn't actually turning on anymore, I'm not sure what they'll have me do. Take out the battery and put it back in? That will be a trick. I'm out of town on business. It was a stupid stupid thing to do to let anything of mine be updated while I'm out of town. I suspect I'll be wasting expensive time tomorrow tracking down an Apple store, instead of working. This sort of stuff is what we supposedly pay more to avoid with Apple products. Extremely disappointed.

People will appear to be getting less signal all the time, regardless of if they are left handed or not. The issue of signal los will still be present, but since everyone will appear to be getting less signal all the time, it won't be as noticeable.
