I don’t want to get my hopes up, but:

One report[1] even claimed an iOS update as early as Monday might be able to relieve the issue due to a lag in the iPhone 4's ability to switch between frequencies causing the loss in signal.

(Even as most reports seem to indicate a complete disruption of service, rather than a simple “lag”.)
