    Hi Guys , thanks god I found this forum.
    I have just bought the i phone 4 from three on an 18 month contract and living in Firhouse Dublin.
    I can get on 3gs but the signal is so poor that it then knocks off back to 3 g and I have to go into aerplane mode to turn back on.
    I really dont have an problem as I use wifi mostly at home.
    In the city centre today and it dropped 4/5 times back to 2g.
    I rang CC tonight who tell me i have to bring it to phone menders in sandyford to have it tested, if it comes back that is is normal , what do I do.
    Do I suffer from haveing no 3gs and where would I stand if I was to go back in2 the store ask for a refund and go over to 02 ipone 3gs and If I did is the 3gs network any better.
    I also borrowed a new apple cover to avoid the "grip of death".
    We should not have to tolerate these problems with the advent of new technology.
    Anyone have any advise, by the way I love the iphone4, im officially a iphone abuser, thanks guys

    Ur a bit confused. 3GS was the previous iPhone before the 4. The 3G was before that and then there was just the iPhone

    3G network though is the speed of the connection and the fastest available. Edge is 2.5g and then GPRS is 2g
    Three have no edge network so piggy back off vodafone but are havin a lot of problems with it at the moment

    Afaik ya can return the phone for. Full refund if ur not happy in the first 14 days.

    My apoligies what I meant was 3g not 3gs, its the 3g signal going from 3g to 2g and the problem is it keeps dropping the service, I am in Firhouse and wondering is anyone having the same problem or is it a faulty handset, many thanks for your rreply, hope you can enlighten me
