It's not clear how widespread the problem is, but a number of iPhone users in the UK are reporting serious reception issues on O2's network. Our source in the UK has told us that his O2 iPhone currently has no service in the same room as other O2 phones with five bars and an unlocked iPhone on Vodafone with full service, and Apple's UK support forums are buzzing with similar reports. Users are also reporting that replacement iPhones don't exhibit the same problems, so the problem might be with the device itself -- but that would be strange, seeing as iPhones in other countries don't have the same issues. For its part, Apple appears to be replacing units as they're brought in, and hasn't made any official statement on the matter yet -- any UK iPhone users out there care to chime in?[Thanks, Wil]

who said money cant buy u trouble ??
Yes I have noticed sometimes the reception levels sometimes drop like a stone with no service showing.Seems very sensitive. Am roaming on ATT in the US with no problems however. So it seems like an issue with O2.
Was on Orange with no signal in the office but now have 4 bars so I am happy. Feel sorry for those with problems, nothing worse than a new toy with problems.
Ever since the latest software update my phone has much worse reception and if it loses signal I have to restart it to reaquire network.
what do you mean no such problems in the US ? me and three of my friends have all experienced server reception problems, disconnections and what not. two of them ditched the iphone all together, and the other two are considering doing so. we are across three different states (NJ,NY,MA), so its not a local issue.
am i the only one here ?
