[TheVictor155]

hey can u tell me wat happens if u buy a mobile on contract and dont pay them????? simply unlock the mobile on another network???

[MrUsername1191]

can you get a O2 phone if you live in usa? please response thank you

[italian95cymru]

are you bradley

[Chris2o2]

you could just try not holding it like that

[CharlieeT1000]

i got a iphone 4 and it has been perfect

[red4216]

I have an iphone4 in Australia and use the telstra network which has awesome coverage, I use the phone without a cover and can only get it to drop one bar when I hold in the death grip. I think network quality is a big factor.

[hands0n]

Yea, O2's network does that. I did extensive tests on Vodafone's network and the worst that happened was the signal dropped to 2G/GPRS/EDGE from 3G. But I had to hunt around the area for a weak Vodafone 3G signal first.

When I was on O2 there was no discernable 3G signal and weak 2G. The nearest 3G antenna in a town of over 20,000 was over a hill 1km away - been like that for seven years since 3G was rolled out. Yet O2's coverage map says I'm neck deep in the 3G stuff. O2 = crap.

why do people complain about this stupidness. just move your hand. and you have to be gripping it really tight for the bars to go down anyway.

[sa7039]

you needed a bumper ;)

[TheMightyMuMbY]

have you now got rid of this phone? also will it onyl affect you if you hold it in your left hand.

[adamthe1st]

You hold your phone like a monkey, congratz.

[tag1989]

@adamthe1st exactly

[goras234]

Giant fail!!

[a380person]

This wouldnt be a problem for me because i hold the phone in my right hand so it wont drop the signal :)

[ashweenaaust]

you must be pissed man

[3012BH]

@ashweenaaust

[ashweenaaust]

@3012BH

[iwouldlikesometea]

Yes the iphone 4's Reception is crap at times, but its not bad for a free little gadget. (I got mine free btw ;D )

[AsEasyAsItCanBe]

@iwouldlikesometea how???

[TornV3]

It's if you hold the bottom left corner

[ST07Enter]

Are you holding the phone tightly, or as normal in your left hand?

[3012BH]

@ST07Enter Just normally Mate, a light grip. It's stupid.

[ChalkeyProductions]

People shouldn't HAVE to get a cover, I agree... however, if you spend stupid amounts on a phone, and don't cover it... then in my opinion [in the nicest way possible] you deserve what you get. I know what I get mine this weekend I'll be buying a cover instantly. Not only does the signal then remain intact, but my glass wont shatter at the slightest bump.

[OptioTheGamer]

every video i watch about this people are purposefully covering the bottom left side of the phone why dont you just hold it in a way that yur hand doesnt cover the bottom left area? mabey using yur right hand to hold it ? yeah sure it sucks and apple should fix it but you can hold it in ways to avoid this problem =)

[FreeiPhoneOffers]

I got the iPhone for Free & today i've got the cover. Reception has improved considerably.

[RAMENoodleSLAYER]

get a damn rubber thing to go around it

[CeasarCompany]

Well... that sucks. I can't believe that apple shipped the "revolutionary" iPhone 4 with a such big design fault that I assume they knew about.

[TheShadowsKillU]

its because they built the antenna into the metal on the side so when you touch it the reception screws up lol. apple failed big time

[EverythingsPro]

lol epic fail :P

[3012BH]

@EverythingsPro

I Know :\ lol

[asshunterr]

Is that a problem just for left handers?

[3012BH]

@asshunterr

Yeah if you hold it in your left hand,

I Find my signal still to drop slightly but not as bad in my right hand...

[Marci124]

That is truly revolutionary!!!

[FaBFaB66]

Physics. Some shit huh.

Human body fucks up the "anthena" because it recives waves and everything... They need to release a rubber cover to it or someshit.

[911toothache]

@FaBFaB66 they have released a bumper or something... :P

[TheEpicThree]

just get a new phone, duh. >.>;

[TheGodlyRanger]

@TheEpicThree Should work out the box, if I bought a TV then they told me to go buy, this this and this before it worked properly I'd be pretty pissed off

[pearlsea]

Just get a phone cover duh! >.>;

[3012BH]

[ThumbsTheGamer]
