CNet have tried to be all controversial with this article this week, stating the iPhone is the worst phonecall making phone ever. Here's their comments:

CNet UK has written an article concluding that the iPhone is the worst phone in the world.

That's right, we said it -- and we're not taking it back. The iPhone may be the greatest handheld surfing device ever to rock the mobile Web, and a fabulous media player to boot. It may be the highest-rated mobile phone on CNET UK, rocking the pockets of half of our crack editorial team. It's certainly the touchscreen face that launched a thousand apps. But as an actual call-making phone, it's rubbish, and we aim to prove it.

The article praises the iPhone for being the best handheld computer there is; however, goes on to describe how it fails when it comes to call quality, dropped calls and data gaps, receiving calls, heat, and battery life. Many of these same criticisms have been leveled against the iPhone in American although its usually AT&T that takes the blame. Interestingly the article mentions a report in Ny Teknik that claims the most likely cause of the 3G problems is defective adjustments between the antenna and an amplifier that captures very weak signals from it.

We don't seem to have any more troubles with lost calls compared with any of the other phone brands... Maybe CNet simply have bad reception in their offices... lol.

This story sucks? This story rocks!
