Sick of IPhone Grief - need an alternative

Sorry Is Iphone 4 not 4 S

I'm just sick of the fact that every time I'm in the middle of something the battery ru

LOL good one

 

Sorry to moan - but its true when you cant make calls on a phone then its time to worry.

 

 

Nokia 700

 

Looks flash, whats the pc software like?

Whats the call / phone signal like??

 

Thanks for suggestion

Don't know - I'm a Mac user - but it backs up my contacts and calendar.

I am on T-Mobile, 95% in London and find the signal fine, no issues, and no issues with call quality compared to other phones I've used (on same network) - Nokia C2-00, Nokia 2330, HTC Wildfire S, Blackberry Curve, Blackberry Pearl ....

My Advice: Avoid HTC too

I used to love my HTC Desire, but after a few months it developed bug and bug and fault after fault.  Several of my friends / relatives have had the same problems with the Desire and other htc models.

They also seem to drop calls alot.

You'll just be trading one problem for another, with that one.

That's not my experience, I had a Desire for over a year and I've had the Desire HD for longer than that, I've not had any bugs or faults and I've not noticed either of them dropping calls.

Hi, I have a iPhone 3G and am also on O2, could the problem be the coverage offered in your area, as in the west midlands my 3G reception is good about 60% of the time, 100% when in London and a big 0% when in north Wales or the Lake District which friends on Orange get a full signal, maybe you need to look at changing sim card to another supplier.   

Yeah, I'm on O2 as well and you definitely seem to be the poor relation when it comes to 3G coverage. I can't get it at all at home but Orange users get full signal!

I just recently switched from O2 to Vodafone on my 4S as could only get signal in my flat in one tiny spot, whereas OH had no issues on Vodafone with her iPhone 4. Spent a few hours with O2 in total trying to improve it, but in the end they just said they couldn't do anything - fair play to them to admitting it and not trying to put the blame on me or the phone somehow.

Since moving to Vodafone, I've not really had any issues - definitely seems to be a better network for signal in my experience. I'm sure there are others who've had the opposite of course!

Main difference for me from the OP though is all phones on O2 had an issue, so it was I knew it was definitely a network and not a phone issue.

 

I think signal coverage depends on areas - O2 good one area Vodafone good another

The signal round this area is rubbish for a few of the networks - I changed from Orange to O2 becuase Orange was poor for me.

I use my phone for work and work in sales so need to make gooid quality phone calls.  Its embrarrasing, unprofessional and you cant sell when people cant hear you/ you sound like a darlick

They have literally just puty a new mast up 200 metres from my house - its a 3G mast but I dont know if that will improve my phone signal.  Its supposed to be up and running within the month.

O2 have said I can come out of my contract before the end which is May but I am in a quandry with that to do.

Wait or Get out early

If I get out early what Phone do I get?

Also nonme of the other networks that I would consider i.e. Vodaphone or Oraneg do an all inclusive minutes tariff - only O2 do.

I have had a HTC in the past and it was rubbish - slow, and not good so I dont think I would get another based on a bad 12 months - I appreciate the newer ones are likely better than what I had but I cant help having a lingering doubt about them

 

What I dont get is that the cheapest Nokia you can buy while not giving me perfect phone signal allows me to make 90% of trouble free calls - the iphone is literally problematic every call

The difference there if you think about it is huge in actual the Main Job the product - the phone call

Make that 2 of us with no issues. Had my Desire for almost 18 months and it's a cracking phone, limited storage aside.

Looks like you were one of the lucky ones. My problems have been: 1) calls dropping 2) phone hanging indefinitely while dialing, even though I have a strong signal. 3) no longer able to reply to texts from some numbers (like my wife). To reply I have to enter the actual number instead if hitting reply. I have tried all sorts if solutions, Luke adding a new contact and removing the old one but it returns. There is some kind of scenario that the software struggles to cope with. 4) My father in laws used to reboot every 30 mins or so. He had to have the motherboard replaced, but it took 8 months for HTC to agree to.this even though it is a.know issue all over the web. I could go on. Several of us have had a combination of each others issues, so I don't think.it is isolated. I don't even download many apps. So the phone is pretty clean. No more HTC phones for me. Glad yours works though.

iPhone 4 had a problem with signal dropouts, which was solved by a "bumper case". Have you tried that?
