Does the iphone4 cradle actually improve phone reception?

I have seen various posts where people recommend the iphone4 cradle to charge the phone, but does it actually improve the phone reception over and above the normal bluetooth link?

I know it's rumoured to, but need to know if it actually does.

YEs it does.. It uses the antenna on the roof instead of the antenna on the phone so it does improve reception slightly. When I had an iphone with crappy At&t calls would drop less frequently in areas they always would drop if I just was using the phone

But doesn't the bluetooth connect to the roof antennae as well?

BT has nothing to do with 3G cellular service or car antennas.
