For me it's been quite obvious but I am surprised how many iPhone owners I see complaining about EDGE speeds when they're covering the antenna (that black plastic area on the back of the phone) with their hand.
A very useful tip for those using EDGE: Take your hand off the antenna! Your meaty fingers are absorbing all the Internet packets.
The advantage is especially obvious when you have low signal strength - but even when I have full bars, I see a 50% speed increase when my flesh isn't absorbing all of those radio waves.
Let's not forget that the warning manual that comes with the iPhone (you
did read it, didn't you?) says your flesh must remain three-quarter inches away from that antenna otherwise you exceed FCC limits for radio exposure.

So in an attempt to figure out what was bricking unlocked phones on 1.1.1, I upgraded my unlocked phone to 1.1.1. After a number of (shall we say) valiant attempts at reviving the radio, I managed to brick it even further, by somehow completely breaking the radio. I have this fun message as shown on my phone, and nothing (not CommCenter, not bbupdater, not iEraser, nor NORDumper) can communicate with the baseband on the phone. All restores fail because they can't talk to it.
So it looks like if I want to continue testing with 1.1.1 I'm going to have to replace the radio board on my phone with a new one.
If anyone here has an iPhone with a cracked screen or some other non-radio problem (dead battery, etc) just laying around, I could definitely use it. I'll send you an
assembled Time Fountain for it, if you'd like.
