Got an iPhone today, but-

[davester]

What do you mean "Reception is fair here"? Are you talking about AT&T reception or some other network? If AT&T has fair reception where you live then you should be able to get the iPhone to work, since it is a fairly good phone in that regard. Debugging should be all that's needed. However, if you're talking about comparing to Verizon or Sprint etc, then it's apples and oranges since they have completely different tower networks.
