Iphone 3GS Problems!!!!!

Hey everyone,

Ive nearly had my Iphone 3GS for six months and near enough all the time I have had problems with my signal jumping up and down like a yoyo and also whenever I put it on charge it turns on and off quiet a few times before the phone actually comes on, I tried talking to o2 about it and they reckoned that I didnt have the software that they support on my phone but when I tried it today everything seemed ok. What I have also done is as I bought it on ebay second hand Im actually still in my six month warranty and hope that the seller should get back to me in the next few days to see what happens next as im sure not everyone has problems with the iphone all the time.

    Why did the seller want to get rid of it?

    I wouldn't have thought you would get a warranty if you bought from ebay.

    Hey people,

    After looking through quiet a few threads on the iphone 3gs I have now realised that I should of done my research before hand as there wasnt any good reviews on the phone itself, all I can now do is hopefully try and get a refund on it as I cant handle having the problems any longer and once its sorted ill probably go back to my BB Curve or buy another phone, but ill cross that bridge when I come to it.

    I had my 3GS for 12 months with no problems and currently have had the iPhone 4 for 9 months again with no problems - They are very good phones usually.

    Hope you get your refund sorted out with the seller:)
