The 4.0.1 upgrade

I recently updated my iPhone from OS 4.0 to 4.0.1.  The update had something to do with how the firmware determines the strength of the cellular signal.  Near as I can tell, all it did was change this:
to this:
See how the first bar is slightly higher than it used to be and the slope is more curved?

Mine had some drastic changes. It showed me that the bars I had been seeing in places I frequent (eg, my house and my office) were absolutely mythical and that, in fact, I have very poor reception in these key places. I realized that already, but now I have graphical evidence. I lided it better when I was living in ignorance of the true reception.
