The iPhone and this are 2 different issues..in the iPhone they put the antenna outside so whenever you hold it causes interference in the signal...

Bars are just indicators..they do not display how good a connection is..its just a "general indicator"...unlike CDMA, GSM can connect to multiple towers, so you can be at 0 bars and still have good signal..I read indications where people had 0 bars and never had a disconnected call on the vibrant..on the iphone people had full bars and still lost calls.

on the iphone though is not only an issue with displaying the bars as it is with interference of the signal...
