Camera Phones Plaza

After the big fuzz with the iPhone launch in Europe, here come the first dissatisfactions from the newly owners.
In UK people that bought the iPhone are indignant because of the bad signal quality the device receives.

All these complaints can be found on the official Apple forum, where people discuss about the bad signal from the O2 network.
On the forum are over 100 complains and more than 1000 thread visualizations.

These are a few examples:

“My iphone can barely pick up even the slightest signal, although on occasion can pick up 3 ars, only for it to drop out again. I have two other 02 phones, a Sony Erricson and a Nokia n95 with no reception problems at all,” says user lawlbaker2.

“Yes, my signal is mostly 'No Service', with the occasional one bar, despite showing coverage on the O2 site - gutted.In the past, visiting friends with O2 have had a poor signal here, but better than I am getting,” adds Darkzoo.

“Same here. Been on Orange for 15 years and bought iPhone on Saturday with O2. Never been unable to get a signal here with Orange but have only managed one bar on rare occassons on the iPhone in 48 hrs.
Is this a fault with the phone or do O2 simply not have as good a coverage as Orange?” (user afcbdave )

Seems that this has become a serious matter. You can read more on the forum.
