1. Comment - Worldwide iPhone 3G problems may lie with the network

   (Aug 27, 2008 - 11:42 AM)

   This Wired survey is really off-the-mark. Why? Because it tests speed. People are complaining about connectivity, dropped calls, missed calls, on and on.
   
   Also, a valid test would be to run an iPhone side by side in each location with several other 3G phones. If it performs poorer than the others, that points to the phone, not the network.
   
   As I work in mobile phone software, we have several 3G phones from diff. manufacturers and several iPhones. The iPhone tests out worse when located within inches of the other phones (I can't go into details on the software, but suffice to say it stresses the data connection). All of them perform better than the iPhone - not just a little, a lot.
