What's the Problem With iPhone 3G Reception?

Posted by Soulskill on from the solar-flares dept.

CWmike writes "Apple's iPhone 3G was just a couple of days old when reports began trickling onto the company's support forum from dissatisfied customers complaining about poor reception. Although no one outside of Apple and AT&T — and maybe a chipmaker or two — really knows, that has not kept others from speculating, or in a few cases, making claims based on unnamed sources. What's going on? We may not have all the answers, but we do have questions. Gregg Keizer put together everything we know in a FAQ on the griping about iPhone 3G reception."

    Is anyone really surprised that the reception is that poor when you have your head so far up Steve Jobs' ass?

    Relax, it's a joke. I want one too.

    Slashdot comments over the years were pretty quick to slam Microsoft for problems like this, but go out of their way to avoid blaming Apple. We need to start replacing the E in Apple the Euro symbol. They are easily as greedy and aggressive as Microsoft ever was. Sorry fanbois.

    How is this off-topic? Links to post on apple forums where users are complaining about "iphone reception problems" on a slashdot article about "what's the problem with iphone 3G reception?"

    How low will the apple fanboys stoop?
