It's an iPhone, get used to it. They are designer poser objects rather
than a practical, functional, communications tool.

More ********.


Not totally. Few folk would argue that when it comes to basic signal
reception, they're pretty crap compared to most other phones (or at least
older Nokias).


I take it you mean "few folk who have never used one". Because I get as
good a signal on mine as with my old Samsung and Nokia phones on the same
network.


Nope, I mean my wife and myself who, when on the same network can get a
good usable signal on an old Nokia and "No signal" on an iPhone. Not an
isolated instance either. A repeated observation. Don't have to look far
on the net to find that this is a common phenomenon.
