I got sick and tired of my 3Gs rebooting on calls, so as my contract was out anyway I upgraded to iPhone4 which came with 4.2.1, and now it drops calls and internet tethering when I touch the phone. At first I did not know why this was happening, now I have discovered if I touch the phone in the bottom corner or near the corner, any current call, internet, or tethered internet will drop, and the phone reverts to Searching..., when i let go of the phone it restores the connection.
Is this a faulty phone, or just another unfixed issue of Apples hardware?
I must say I am really get sick and tired of faulty phones.

this is a fault in the design of apples iphone 4 they put the antenna on the outside of the phone which allows skin to lower the signal there is a fix for this but it requires you to put a case on the phone..

By bottom corner, what exactly do you mean?
On the LEFT side, bottom corner, the metal band (antenna) has a black divider. If your hand covers the band on both sides of that divider, you lose signal.
If you are touching something else, you might have a phone with a unique problem and need them to replace it.
I never had it lose the signal completely though. However, when on the internet, if I cross that divider, it will pretty much stop the browser from loading anything. But phone calls have always worked. And Im not in a great service area. I made it so my phone shows numeric signal strength rather than bars and it is not uncommon for me to see it worse than -100 db. Sometimes even -110 db. I think it is only supposed to work down to -121 db.
