Pretty good info about the antenna section of the iPhone anyway. Now all we need is a chip test to eliminate the Infineon chip.

    Or the chip. Infineon's statements about the chip being used in other phones is worthless. These phones are not the same as an iPhone. It is lip service.

    So...when you can get consistently good performance in a countries with good 3G networks and consistently bad performance in countries with bad 3G networks you STILL think it's the chip?



    Ya, right. Besides, the only thing a bad chip means is I get a new iPhone. A bad network means I get to wait until AT&T get their act together. Which do YOU think will happen faster?

    I'm in the UK, I get great 3g reception on Nokia's, Palm's and Berrys and literally none on iPhone 3g



    ...and before you ask...I tried 3 separate handsets.

    I'm in the US on AT&T's crappy network and I get great 3G in some areas and crappy in others which means...not a whole lot really. With 1 bar at the moment I'm getting 0.99 Mbps download.



    Here are 14 folks in the UK getting more than 0 bars:

    3G networks are just prone to interuption more and have less overall capacity per cell usually ... requires a denser collection or towers



    Depending on which frequency the network uses it can just make the problem a whole lot worse for building penetration and interferrence
