Pitted against a BlackBerry 9700 and HTC HD2, the iPhone 4 performed within the same wireless range as the other smartphones but on the lower end of the spectrum. Some interesting stats:
PA concluded that a rubber band or bumper case significantly improved the performance of the iPhone 4.
Also worth noting: Apple has pulled all signal strength videos from their site.
