I love and hate my iPhone 4 at the same time. The screen is superb, camera is fantastic, video camera wonderful. However, DO believe everything you hear about the signal. It is absolutely abysmal.

One other thing - not sure if it's a positive or negative. The phone is now so slippy (due to the 'glass' on the back) that it slips off the arm of the chair, out of my pocket, and on to the floor ALL THE TIME. However, the glass is really, really, really strong now. So it hasn't smashed.

I'm in a terribly quandary, but I think when all is said I'll end up keeping it.

Hi,
I'm hoping I don't have the signal issue but I live in a not great signal area so I'm half expecting it. Out of interest have you used a bumbper/case? and if so does it completeley solve the problem?
Cheers

Out of interest, how long did it take for any of your fellow Tesco ppl to get a confirmation email through as I haven't had mine yet since my order at about 12pm. Also, does this email contain all T&C's, billing dates/details, etc?
Cheers

Hi Chris

The signal issue is completely solved by the bumper.

Most people get their confirmation e-mails very quickly. I'd be tempted to give them a call as there may be an issue with the credit check that's delaying things.

Cheers Oscar. Think I'll see if the phone arrives tomorrow and eiter way I'll give them a ring as they might have just taken my email address down wrong (wouldn't be surprised!) They did say on the phone that credit check was fine and they did do 3 of them which I'm not happy with!

Mine took just over a week from Apple to come (got it last Thursday) so you may get it sooner than 3 weeks. No problems with signal either however I hold it.

tesco need to pull their finger out. I phoned at 8am this morning and they had none in stock, the guys said he had heared nothing about stock being available the night before. If it continues like this I will have to take my business back to o2
