Thanks for the tip, although I tried that and it didn't help much -
still 1 or 2 bars. I did find in certain rooms I can get reception and
make / receive calls, but it comes and goes.

your apartment just is not in a 3g network so while at home shut off the 3g and use the edge and your reception will be 5 bars. i only use the 3g when i want to surf the web when im out of the house also if you keep it on the 3g it uses more battery power

hope this helps

Hey Timmargh, you are correct, I've been using WiFi to surf the web at
home, and occupying myself with the app store, loading it up with
music, etc. so haven't missed the spotty service in the abode proper.
What's ridiculous is my wife has Verizon and her phone works just
fine, so I feel like a schmoe for trusting AT&T.

You're right I'd be angry if this were any other company. I'm
definitely an Apple-phile and this line example yet another instance
where I have tossed out my objectivity. I waited in line for OS X
Panther, too, which was even sillier :)

Glad to hear you're getting an iPhone too, I'd be interested to hear
more about O2's approach and if it's any better than AT&T.
