Power management is seems to play a large part in connection quality, but the again from the earlier radio test articles:
"There can be differences of 10 - 20 dB by moving the phone half a meter, or if a car drives by."
Radio propogation isn't as simple as being with in a certain radius of the cell tower, the question is, is the iPhone 3g worse than other phones on the same network and why, and 2.5g edge is technically a different network run by the same company in parallel.
