Big deal, just switch to AT&T like I did. I love my iPhone 3GS and no major complaints about AT&T either they've been fine. I do get an occasional dropped call but I did on Verizon too. And AT&T has visual voicemail on the iPhone, simultaneous voice+data, rollover minutes, and very fast 3G data most of the time.. Maybe I'd switch back to Verizon eventually but whatever, I switched and am very happy with my iPhone for now.
I don't get these people that want an iPhone so bad that they will bash the network that its on and most of them have no clue what they're talking about.
@phinn What you said is true as long as your are not walking through downtown Chicago and the best you can pull is one bar on Edge. For less populated areas with 3G and low usage AT&T is great. What good is it for the cities?
@incubusmac I don't know if Chicago has some particular issue with AT&T and 3G, but I love in the central NJ area and I'm in NYC all the time and my iPhone 3GS works great almost everywhere. I can test my data speed at around 3Mbits right now.
@incubusmac That's B.S. I work right in the Loop and I have full bars right now. That's not to say I don't have problems occasionally but there's no need to exaggerate.

@phinn Chicago definitely has issues. I'm a few hundred yards from a tower site and I can rarely maintain a call in my home.
@incubusmac
I'd consider Philadelphia to be a city, no? No problems here.
