    Oh right so its just software then? As the video blamed the the silver strip thing around the edge.

    I just googled iphone 4 this morning, and there is a youtube video showing when you hold the phone around the edge the signal strength drops to nothing. Apparently Apple know about it and are going to fix it, its a glitch. Screen also on there, its like a yellow tinge in the corner of it:(

    Like I said, I can't defend the yellow screen issue (although Apple have been very quick to fix affected units in the past.)

    However on the reception issue, it only seems to affect those who clasp the phone in such a way that they connect the WiFi and GSM antennae. It also seems to affect 3G/3GS's I have noticed minor signal degradation since the iOS4 update.

    Tesco is on the O2 network. If you're ok on O2, you're ok with Tesco. You can keep your number.

    If you want to cancel with O2, ring them and get a PAC code, this will allow you to move your number to Tesco. You don't need this number prior to signing up with Tesco though, they can change the number when ever you receive the PAC.

    iPhone orders are meant to be taken from 9am but I suspect everyone is trying now.

    Have you tried this number:
    0800 433 4994

    It's the one that appears on the iPhone page on the Tesco Mobile site (which has just come back up)
