On the news wires there have been complaints about the iPhone 3G not getting good 3G signal. Sweedish engineers took the 3G as well as the Nokia 73 and Sony Ericsson P1 into their test chambers.
Here are their results:
One of the testees was quoted saying:
“In my opinion my iphone has worked perfectly. The only time a call has been disconnected was on the train to Stockholm, and that has happened with other mobiles as well. But when I on the evening before the test looked at the signal strength bars, and compared with a Nokia, the iphone looked pretty bad. Several bars less and often preferring to switch to edge.”
Personally, the only times I’ve had problems with 3G is when I’m at home. Now, that problem isn’t with the 3G, it’s not even Apple’s fault. Every phone that has ever entered my house gets their signal dropped down to 1 bar. Now that 3G has come to my area, I have seen that I actually do have full service in more places.
