Re: It's obviously AT&T

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

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.

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. |

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.
