It's something that does really need the spotlight Turning on it in a bid to get handset manufacturers to improve design or quality of component parts,
The differences between the handsets i had were bad enough on Three as they lead to reduced 4g access and premature loss of service which doesn't help three's reputation on coverage fronts, but on Vodafone I found it fundamentally changed how the network was perceived. The poorer reception phone ment I spent lots and lots of time on 2g even in good 3g areas, 3g was often 900mhz not 2100mhz leading me to think speeds were even worse then I thought, 4g coverage area was poor, in fact I remember posting about coverage and saying how it was like Vodafone had set things up to keep you off data..
Then try a better reception phone like my lg, and the same networks now seems to make sense,
