I had my first iPhone for exactly one week - it was provided by my
(then) employer.  In that time I managed to complete just two phone
calls.  It was replaced under Warranty because Apple thought it might be
"faulty".  I kept the two further replacements for another week -
neither would work properly in much of London, and couldn't find a
network out in the countryside.  O2 is meant to have the best coverage,
but the iPhone will go a long way to destroying their reputation!

Further research revealed the receive sensitivity was markedly worse
than my old Nokia, and the transmit power was pitiful.  The battery life
was appalling - typically less than a day.  It was a relief to return to
the relative sanity of a cheap Nokia phone that "Just Worked™"!
