There has been a lot of debate about this.
Some people say that all of the iPhones radios actually interfere with each other.

While they are similar, the iPhone is not an iTouch. And there's the matter of case materials and such, not to mention how the signals traverse wood, drywall, and metals (and the amount of walls the signals have to carry through). There are variances even if you're using both the iTouch and iPhone in one spot at the same time.

airplane mode on, then turn on wifi, it will make the signal better, but you wont recieve or make calls

I think all ofnthe radios are sort of weak but I get wifi alright. At home even with in a few feet of the router it doesn't get full bars but the speeds are ok.
