Eleanor,
Both phone make and model can affect signal quality, the biggest issue
though can often be building construction. Newer buildings tend to use a lot
of steel, which isn't always favourable for network carriers.

That is interesting but I have a friend in Belfast and in her ground floor
newly built flat she gets very little Vodafone coverage. I cannot
understand it actually but I have witnessed it myself. Wonder if the type
or model of phone has something to do with it too because with my N95 I had
no problem with reception.
