Re: It's obviously AT&T

I work on mobile phone software. I can attest to the fact that the only phone giving us issues in 3G mode is the iPhone, at our work location.

Additionally, I was in a hospital yesterday with 2 other 3G phones. All of them dropped to EDGE, but the iPhone wouldn't make a call or browse. The Q9h and BJ2: no problem.

Re: It's obviously AT&T

My 3G Samsung Blackjack and HTC 8525 both do the exact same crap as the iPhone. Sometimes they drop calls when going from 3G to Edge. They all have poorer reception in 3G mode also.

They're all also really annoying about hanging on to Edge for several minutes while there's good 3G coverage available.

Re: It's obviously AT&T

My major disappointment was that, as I indicated earlier, even when dropped permanently into EDGE the iPHone didn't perform as well as two other 3G phones I was carrying yesterday. In fact, it couldn't even make a call.

Re: It's obviously AT&T

I've never had any performance problems with the iPhone in EDGE mode, and the 3G seems to be about identical to the iPhone 1G once locked to Edge.

My house is in a marginal area - some days I can make calls, others I can't. iPhone performs just as good (or as bad, depending on your viewpoint ) as every other GSM phone I've had.

Whatever the cause or whoever's at fault, I'm all for the negative press. Both AT&T and Apple need to focus on improving the situtation for their customers.

If it didn't do that, you'd be whining about poor battery life from the phone constantly scanning for 3G.

It's wierdo, not weirdo. Yes, I know that's not the 'proper' spelling of the similar english language word.
