I got the iPhone 3G on Rogers on the first of this month, and I’ve been happily using it for the past few weeks. I had the silent/ring switch break off, but Rogers was great about sending a replacement unit right away, and I had a new one (albiet with one little nick in it) within 3 days.

Anyways, I hear all this crap about the iPhone 3G having reception issues, but on the EDGE network in Canmore RIGHT in the middle of the Rocky Mountains seems to be perfectly fine. I even have reception where my buddies with HTC Smartphones don’t. And with 3G reception anywhere in Calgary, it’s been flawless, with me having steady 4-5 bars all over the place. I haven’t have a single dropped call on both the 3G and EDGE networks, and no random switching from 3G to EDGE – although the phone switches from EDGE to that really really slow data connection when I only have 1 bar or less sometimes.

This goes for THREE iPhones we have in our house. Two 8GBs (including replacement), and one 16GB. I’m begining to wonder whether or not it is Apple’s issue, and just the networks being overloaded by the extensive data-usage that iPhone users rack up?

What’s your take on this?
