Following. And I add two to the list: - Macbook's wifi connection is crazily unreliable. Based on Googling, it's also not unique. - Iphone cannot find mobile net after coming out of the basement until I turn the mobile net off and on again. Grrr.

Wifi tends to be a fickle thing and I would wager a good percentage of the complaints are not specifically the Macbook's fault. Additionally the reason your Iphone cannot immediately find service is to reduce power consumption. When low/no cell service exists, cell phones broadcast on 100% power but reduce the frequency of pings in order to avoid depleting the battery desperately searching for a signal.
