Amazing how any discussion about AT&T and the iPhone is automatically a go signal for you to pontificate about the dumb android. Have fun with your CDMA2000 crap. Verizon crashes all the time around here. Just last month all my Verizon friends went silent for about 6 hours. You're kidding yourself or naive if you think AT&T is the only one that suffers periodic network outage. But whatever, don't let reason stand in the way of your fanboyism. This is the Internet after all. Flame on!]]>Dec 11th 2009 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/atandt-data-outage-in-san-francisco/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/atandt-data-outage-in-san-francisco/
WHAT? Nobody ever even said anything like that. OF COURSE no network is immune to network constraints; and addressing your anecdotal evidence of "Verizon crashing all the time", you're gonna have to come up with more evidence than "All my friends!". This IS the internet after all.

" it doesn't stop you android fanboys from fapping to the damn thing so much you'd think there was a world record you were trying to set. "

With such an avatar, I don't really think you're qualified to make that statement. But hey it shows one thing: you're not afraid to bend over for loyalty points. "Right in here, AT&T!"]]>Dec 11th 2009 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/atandt-data-outage-in-san-francisco/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/atandt-data-outage-in-san-francisco/Dec 11th 2009 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/atandt-data-outage-in-san-francisco/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/atandt-data-outage-in-san-francisco/

Okay legitimate question. My friend has a DROID and it is a really sweet phone. However, everytime she calls me I can barely understand her. She is so garbled. And yes, I have an iPhone, but the at&t network where I live is fantastic and I've never experienced this before. Everyone else comes in crystal clear. Anyone else noticed this?]]>Dec 12th 2009 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/atandt-data-outage-in-san-francisco/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/atandt-data-outage-in-san-francisco/
Really, that is your evidence? You searched engadget? Because we all know that engadget is the place to go if you want to know abut cell phone outages as they happen. I did the same thing, and you're right, they only have posts on AT&T, Blackberry and XM radio outages. So that must mean that Verizon has had no outages, right? WRONG!

I'm starting to wonder if engadget is biased. They have only mentioned ATT outages in the past 2 years, while we know that all cell networks have had an outage or two. Just 3 weeks ago, Verizon had a 4-5 hour outage in eastern Pennsylvania/New Jersey where 19 towers were down. I also remember reading a story this summer where Sprint had an outage in L.A. Wonder why those outages were never "reported" on engadget?]]>Dec 12th 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/atandt-data-outage-in-san-francisco/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/atandt-data-outage-in-san-francisco/Dec 11th 2009 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/atandt-data-outage-in-san-francisco/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/atandt-data-outage-in-san-francisco/Dec 11th 2009 9:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/atandt-data-outage-in-san-francisco/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/atandt-data-outage-in-san-francisco/Wasn't it just yesterday that AT&T was hyping how focused they were in fixing the bay area network?

I try and browse the internet and data connectivity is erratic. Yet it still shows Full Bars 3G!

I guess the commercial is right, Yes there are more bars, but i don't think more bars equals full service! Seems like the network is tricking me into thinking I have great coverage even though I can't make a phone call!

I used a payphone today while i had my iphone in my other hand to look for the number I was going to dial and people looked at me strangely as they walked by...One guy even started laughing...I don't blame him....I don't blame him...The iPhone is great, the service that it sits on?.....Not so much
