Will Verizon get the iPhone?

How come I barely get 5 bars signal in my Verizon Iphone 4s?

• After doing a lot of research online and reading a lot feedback and comments, I finally decided to go with Verizon Iphone 4S instead of Sprint. AT&T isn't one my preferences because I find their data a bit more expensive. Also, a lot of people are having problems with their reception and coverage. But how come I barely get 5 bars on my Verizon Iphone 4S? It's 3-4 bars most of the time and even drops to 1-2 bars in some places. Is it because of Verizon or the Iphone 4S? However, I do have 1 bar signal in some subway stops where I could still send text messages even if it's underground. NOTE: Android vs Iphone Also, when I asked regarding Verizon and Sprint Iphone 4s, somebody answered that Androids are better than Iphones. I have to disagree. I've been using android phones for 2 years. I had the G1 then switched to Tmobile's G2X. At first, I loved the G2X and never thought of switching to an Iphone . But after few weeks, I started having a lot of dropped calls, my phone freezes and shuts down often. Plus, when I upgraded the phone's software, as told by the customer rep in order to resolve the problems that I was having with my phone, I lost the good features of my G2X's camera and it then switched to a normal android camera. The new software didn't fix any issues that I was having with my phone. Right now, I don't have any plans of going back to an android phone that's why I decided to switch to Verizon. I'm loving my iphone. I'm just wondering why I barely get 5 signals. On the other hand, I haven't encountered much problems yet though I only have 4 signals. I have good call quality, I can text, use my data and I'm not having dropped calls. Also, my iphone doesn't freeze often or shuts down like my previous android phones.

• Answer:

  Your honestly not going to notice that much of a difference between 5 bars and 3 bars unless you are doing data intensive things. Even sending an email will only take a second or 2 more if you have 3 bars. If your not dropping a call I don't know what the problem is. You won't always be very close to a cell tower, thats just life. I'd say that when it comes to reception, its mostly a carrier thing. There was the whole iphone "antenna-gate" but that was fixed with the iphone 4s.
