iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4 exchange question

[elie.fares]

I got a 3GS as a gift recently. However, the iPhone had a hardware problem where the reception was very bad, and most of the times, I had no reception at all. I contacted Apple and all and they gave me a series of steps to do. They didn't work so they said I should get it replaced.
The question now is, can I get it replaced by the new iPhone 4 when it comes out?

If it's within the return period maybe. But if they are just doing a swap it will be the same phone.

No. They'll replace it with another 3GS

No. They replace model for model. They have plenty of backup stock. The only way you can exchange is if you are w/i your 30 day return period. Return ASAP. Buy the 4 in a couple of weeks.
