Well if making calls is not working over 3G and that is your primary concern then yes.

I was unaware you couldn't talk over the Edge network.

Oh yeah, silly me, I can't imagine why I thought I should be able to talk over 3g with 5 bars.:rolleyes:
 
There was a 3G outage in some areas today, so you might have been affected.

Thanks, I hadn't heard about that. Maybe thats what it was because iv'e had my I4 since the 23rd and today was the first time Iv'e had big problem with it. Was that in Mississippi?
 
Really. WTF.

Well seeing as how I needed the device today for using Readdledocs to grab a 26mb file off my WebDAV server yeah I am pissed.

You see, I rely on this as a business device, and it is failing me; my 3GS did not suffer these same issues.

So would I throw it at the wall, no- did I want to yes.

I don't use my device for Facebook and playtime; it's used mostly for productive purposes.

Maybe that is why so many are pissed at the lack of being productive.
 
I think I will call my Xwife over and just hit her in the head with it a few times...until the back glass shatters then see if my reception gets any better?? Good idea?:eek:

Well, since you will be using your phone to bash her over the head, have a friend record it.
 
I originally got my iphone delivered to my house on June 24th. I immediately noticed the reception was really bad, much worse than my 3gs. My phone fell off of lap onto the ground on June 27th (Sunday), and shattered the backside of the phone. I went to the apple store at West County mall in St. Louis the next day (Monday),I somehow got really lucky and he took my info and told me they'd be getting more phones in the next couple of days, and that he'd give me a new phone. I just returned from the mall...July 1, (Thursday), and noticed a DRASTIC change in reception. I have held it every way imaginable, covering it with both hands, one hand, in closets, under tables, you name it, FULL BARS AT ALL TIMES. Not sure how, but it seems something has changed in the second batch of iphones. Let me know what you all think.

This is a nice store and the one I go to. Thanks for sharing the good news.
