@trs: I’m fairly sure any objective observer would agree. I’m definitely thinking the subtext of this ad is: "Hello, you can have phone that looks similar to an iPhone but doesn’t drop signal."

Getting a phone on 3 in the UK is only slightly more useful than tying two cups together with string… or drawing pictures and shouting.
