When I spoke to Orange last week, a very helpful and candid chap told me that when Orange are saying that the minority of their users are affected "take it from me, that means the majority or all of them". Apparently it's a massive problem. That in this day and age a phone can be released to market that actually just doesn't work is amazing. In 3G mode, it can't hand over properly. I mean isn't there a standard for these things. My 3G signal goes from full to nothing while remaining motionless! Is 3G actually ready? What's the point in 3G - all it seems to do is drain my battery about as fast as if I just shorted the damn thing and cause my calls to get cut off. Oh and download stuff faster with massive latency.
