Wild speculation is always fun, but it’s refreshing to see some cold hard experimentation results. These fine Swedes tested the iPhone 3G against the Nokia N73 and the Sony Ericsson P1 in their fancy reception test chamber and found that the iPhone had comparable reception to its competitors. The iPhone even gave the same reception results with wifi, gps and bluetooth turned on as it did with them turned off (the experimenters were concerned that there may be interference between the different signals). Now you can rest at ease that your phone’s signal is just as weak as everyone else’s.
