    Vodafone in your house...

    Bought a BlackBerry Storm yesturday, well it was free on a new contract yadda yadda yadda. Havnt used it to make a call or whatever yet, just been playing and whatever.

    Got home from Leeds today, and it cant get a signal at or in my house...

    Now is this usual for Vodafone or what? Ive always always been with o2 and while signal gets sparce out in the contry side its always perfect at home and in buildings.

    Is this grounds for cancelling this new contract already if it wont find a signal at home, its just not good enough especially when all i ever got told was 'Vodafone have the best coverage espeially for 3G in the UK'

    I live in a large town that forms part of the Nottingham suburban area so hardly out in the sticks...

    TBH mate, the interface isnt as good as the iPhones, having to click the screen is abit annoying and it definately isnt as direct as the iphones.

    The keyboards in portrait are ****ing dire!

    however its a better phone then the iphone is, which is the sole reason i went for it, the iphones a good toy, but shite phone


    I'll see what happens over the weekend, cant believe i dont get a signal in my house but ya never know!

    well took a strole to the postbox and still nothing, so took the cover off and poked the sim card because i think its impossible to remove it...

    now it works, so worry over nothing.

    Whats a proper network?

    Hate T-mobile, just hate them...

    02, just had enough of poor coverage

    Orange, dont have any phones i like or want...

    speaking from experiance Pally, i live on 2minutes drive from Sherwood forest and associated country side and coalfields of Nottinghamshire, im lucky to be able to use Google maps when i need it and what not.

    Almost unbearable signal quality in Leeds city centre too when im at work, deciding factor for me unfortunately as o2s service has been very good over th 3years of my last contract and 3years Pay n Go prior.

    Dont cry
