  thanks for sharing this article.
  well, a lot of people are indeed complaining about at&t, I just hope they’d be able to fix their network.

  I used to have Cingular cell phone service which was then bought by AT&T. Once AT&T took over, my phone service was horrible. Dropped calls, lousy reception, static, echoes, etc…

  I switched to Verizon and my life immediately improved. It’s a shame that Apple had to give an exclusive to the worst phone company on the planet.

  I would love an iphone but will wait until they open it up to Verizon or Sprint.
