They all had trouble connecting to the WiFi network at work, and walking down the street the iPhone had trouble locating and/or connecting to hardly any WiFi networks. We tested this on about a dozen iPhones for most of the day. The majority of the time download speeds hovered around 64-100kbits/sec. We hung out in a Cafe that advertised free WiFi and none of the iPhones could locate it. I know this is anecdotal, but the sample size is significant.

Maybe a silly question, but is it safe to assume that they entered in the key necessary to access said wi-fi networks?
