Yesterday I changed the whole dock assembly to see if that could fix the problem.
Today it lost connection again. So it didn't work.
Now I'm considering to get a new iPhone or doing a logicboard replacement on this one.. Also I could find someone local that does BGA soldering and ask them to find the chip that has to be loose on the logicboard...
Either that or I'll decide that I can't afford it because I just bought an iPad....
I also added a third theory.
Either way, thanks again for all your help and comments!

iPhone 3G loses signal randomly and for no obvious reason, everything else works just fine.
== Circumstances: ==
* Until a few days ago the phone has never been dropped. Then it was dropped from about 1 meter, twice...
* The phone is just over 1 year old
== Tried: ==
* Waiting
** Nothing..
* Rebooting
** Brings service back for a while
* Activating and deactivating flight mode
** Brings service back for a while
* Re-seating sim-card
** Brought back service initially, but didn't solve problem
== Theories ==
# Loose cable?
** I don't see how that fits in. I mean, re-booting gets the service back. If it was a loose cable it shouldn't help to re-boot..
