My words are this: In the last 6 months to a year I've never had an issue with 3G coverage. Even in the little village I live in. I even got full 3G coverage over 2 years ago in the middle of the woods on an army base.

@seunlock-uk

I really wouldn't say Orange has the best 3G Network i would say T-Mobile has one of the best and definitely the best roll out of HSDPA in the UK. I have very rarely not had either 3G or HSDPA cover and before the end of the year T-Mobile will have in place 7.2mbps HSDPA up and running. This is considerably faster than both EDGE and even 3G. Although currently most HSDPA devices are only 3.6mbps ready i am sure next year will see more devices able to take advantage of the 7.2mbps speeds available.

you must be joking they review based on the amount of free ones they get sent to them! if you seriously think these people arent paid off most of the time you have got igoggles on lol

btw the BBC Poll got pulled quicker than usual because so many people were voting NO to getting an iphone. i think it was 86% of the 50,000 people that voted...

86% of people won't get an iPhone?

That's pretty good really, because it (unscientifically) suggests that 14% of people will get one.

What 'official' polls do is sample a representative section of the population, say 1000 people, then scale that up to the full population to get the results.

So 14% of 60million people in the UK = 8.4million iPhones sold!!

I would imagine pretty much any product would get similar results in a similar test. Clearly the vast majority of people won't buy any particular product. No single product is right for most people.

Obviously the 50,000 people who voted in the BBC poll are not a representative sample, and the poll is not scientific in any way at all.

But I'd like to see the results of a similar poll "Will you be buying a Sony Ericsson K850" for instance. I would guess the "No" percentage would be even higher.

The options in the question should also have been expanded:

Will you be buying an iPhone?

a) Yes, I want one at any cost
b) Yes, at the announced price
c) No, not until it becomes cheaper or available without a contract
d) No, I'm not interested at all

well not really as its 50,000 people that chose to look up and read about the iphone on the bbc website.

so out of 50,000 people that are already interested in finding out more about it, only 7,000 say they would buy one.

i'd be suprised if they actually sell more than 500,000 units by xmas in the UK....

EDIT: make that 50,000
