Poor iPhone reception graduates to SNL 'Weekend Update' joke status

"It was reported this week that Google would soon launch its own cellphone as a challenge to the iPhone. Also a challenge to the iPhone? Making phone calls."

Cue uproarious applause.

Update: Video after the break! Thanks Michael!

Update 2: In typical SNL fashion, the video has been pulled from YouTube. Keep an eye out for a Hulu berth!

So wait, because one guy makes comments that you don't agree with, that makes his entire town a population of idiots. And because you see iPhone users that are posting angry messages (and not ones who actually might agree with the SNL skit in silence), they are emotional or gay (a condition which you obviously abhor).

Wow, which community college did you learn Correlation and Causation from? I'd be glad to donate money to them - they obviously need it.

Uh huh. Hanging head low, I am an att customer with a 3g iphone. I feel like fish crap on the bottom of the ocean. I really cant wait for the Google Phone to hit the market. Cant wait to go from a 412MHz processor to a 1000MHz processor running a much faster OS.

Since when is Android "much faster" than OS X Mobile? Nobody who's used Android on any phone, no matter how fast it is, thinks the iPhone is slow by comparison.

The call issues are primarily in the large metro areas ... the rest of us are more frustrated by ATTs abysmal 3G coverage ... but ATT really doesn't care about that. They made a point to show their MAP in a new commercial which is all colored in RED ... which is fine for making phone calls, but is worthless when it comes to data. So the commercial compares their RED map (which does not include 3G coverage) to Verizon's RED map which does includes 3G coverage.

To ATT ... do you think we are idiots? We're closing in on 2010. 4G is being rolled out in many places by your competitors. Where or where is your 3G? ATT ... can you hear me now?

Youtube will not last life long
If all the videos are gone
From a little stupid rule
All of this happening just ain't cool
I thought it was a place for fun
Entertainment for everyone
Now these companies are barging in
Tearing up the site like it belongs to them
Threatening Youtube for having their songs
Can't we all just get along?
Removed every video left and right
Almost everything on their site
If theres just one thing I hate
Its all those mother beeping copyrights!

I just want the iPhone to have a 5Mp camera with flash and Flash support... Service is great in Mexico with Telcel's network, pricing is NOT!

@jmbear

Jesus. Megapixels do not matter. DO NOT MATTER. All that matters is the quality of the camera. The Droid camera is 5 megapixels and it SUCKS. It also has a flash, but guess what? That sucks too. The iPhone can manually expose shots, which makes it vastly more usable in different lighting situations. It also takes higher quality pictures.

As far as Flash support, why? Mobile Safari already fully supports HTML5, which has video tags. Without installing bloatware that uses 100% of your processor.
