Just bought my iphone (8gb) last night and it worked after activiation but the wifi signal was weak even though I was in the same room as the access point. After charging all night the phone would not turn on this morning, did the soft reset (hold sleep and home) and then the phone worked, but wifi did not. I had the grayed out "no wi-fi". I think the easiest way to see if this is the same problem is to check the Wifi Address in the About screen, mine was blank (it should list the MAC address).

I called Apple and they had me do the factory restore which did not resolve the problem. Before calling them back I started playing with the phone more and found also that my phone wont ring when its in standby mode. If I'm on a screen it will ring, but if I put it in standby or it goes into standby, no ring.

Called Apple back about wifi problem, they said to take it back to the Apple store (or we could do the rma/repair thing). I had them lookup the ring problem and none of their techs had heard of that problem.

PS - this was bought at the Southlake, TX store for anyone that is tracking the problem.

Crossing my fingers!
