I studied the network coverage maps for O2, and they showed the same level of reception for my postcode as T-Mobile. Where does the problem lie? Is it O2's coverage that's at fault, or the iphone? Is there any solution for this? I only jumped to O2 because I wanted to stay legal and not unlock the iphone - now I wish I had! Despite the reception, I do LOVE my iphone!

The second thing is that I was asking the O2 CS for some advice into improving the coverage surrounding my area. Perhaps I could buy a signal booster for my house at least (Vodafone have launched their VOdafone Access Gateway to improve Vodafone's signal at home). All I've got was nothing that I can do and they (O2) will not be doing anything for sure. Oh dear, so much so for putting lots of faith in one of the leading UK Mobile Service Provider.

Also, it randomly cuts people off during calls (this just happened walking around Brighton today). It's pretty disappointing as it's useless as a phone in my house and I have to call people back on the landline.
The guy in the apple shop said theres nothing they can do + that o2 shares masts with vodafone, the difference being that vodafone have a shorter wavelength so it penetrates buildings better, orange has longer so would be even worse.
In Brighton vodafone seem to work while every one else is unreliable (have been on virgin and three and o2 so far) - I only got the iphone to develop games on, but it seems I'm missing the phone functionality.

Unfortunately, the iphone won't pick up a signal as good as a nokia, sony ericsson etc will due to the way it's been designed.

Vodafone and o2 use the same wave length which penetrates buildings better than the wavelength used by orange and tmobile.
Unfortunately, the iphone won't pick up a signal as good as a nokia, sony ericsson etc will due to the way it's been designed.
In that case o2 needs to get more base stations. If they know thats the case, they know theres a problem.
