"When people keep buying iPhones regardless- why should they?"

the same answer can be used when asking why AT&T doesn't "fix" their network, i'm sure.

and right now Verizon technologically can't support the phone.

as for the folks saying that if it was ATT all phones would have suck service. not true. the level of service is dependent on tower coverage. in some areas they have dozens so the service is awesome. in others, like New York, they have quite a few but not a lot, so the service is decent but not great and spotty in some places. In areas like the midwest, they have almost none and decent service is about 20-30% of the time. which is why companies like Sprint do well in their areas]]>Sep 30th 2009 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/
Agreed.

This repeated blog tendency to say "Look! Att is outrageously bad, so let's all keep paying them!" is ridiculous.

For that reason alone I'll put up with AT&T and their shitty 3G service in NYC. Thankfully though I live in NC where it's flawless (at least in my area).

And its been stated that every service provider has less than stellar service in certain areas. It can't be helped for the most part. I used to have a verizon phone that would drop calls all the time in a town that I frequented, with att I've never had the same issue in that area.

You know that somewhere people are having dropped calls at a rate like this with another phone on another network, but nobody makes a big fuss over it because it isn't with a popular device like the iphone. ]]>Sep 30th 2009 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/Oct 1st 2009 7:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/Oct 1st 2009 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/Oct 2nd 2009 10:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/Sep 30th 2009 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/Sep 30th 2009 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/Sep 30th 2009 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/apple-genius-says-30-iphone-call-drop-rate-is-average-in-new-yo/
