    The iPhone is known for having poor signal strength where a normal Nokia/Motorola/Siemens/etc will work fine. I've o2, and I used the 3gs for work, but I keep a backup Nokia 7110 in the car for the trouble spots where the iPhone drops calls, pop the sim into my Matrix phone (Which still looks uber cool to this day), and full strength on the phone no bothers.

    I am considering getting the iphone 3gs but the reviews below are putting me off. I thought I would take a look at your forum and it just confirms the reviews. There is word of a version 4 coming out but no dates as yet.
