upstateny518 @taconic.net	reply to SSidlov Re: Not Exclusive? Pay $$$$ for the phone! im going to have to disagree with that statement... in the areas of NY including upstate and the metro nyc area at&t has had poor results all along after the iphone came out. they had a pretty decent network until the iphone. i had a cingular 8525 when the iphone came out and day one the network crashed for weeks in albany and even when i went to nyc. you couldnt call tech support because the lines were so busy because everyone was having DATA/VOICE and TXT issues. my phone would tell me that the data network was down, and that my last text message could not be sent. phone calls were dropped multiple times and these problems still exist going into the 3rd generation of iphone. i have tried many more phones also and they all have the same problem. at&t's backbone sucks in the northeast and the CSR's will tell you that. the iphone is a cool device, just not implemented very well. when LTE comes out and ATT&VERIZON roam on each other the iphone will be great because it can roam on both networks and balance the strain on the networks. i have many friends with the iphones and i love to watch them drop calls and have failed txt messages. because my verizon phone never does that.. the inauguration for obama in january i went with the local school as a chaperone. at&t had no voice/data or txt coverage after 11am. the network crashed completely. i was on the web, sending picture messages to flickr, uploading videos to youtube and texting all the kids in my group [who thankfully had verizon] to keep track of everyone. never one dropped call or failed txt. i live in a rural area, i have 0 bars with at&t and 4/4 with verizon. plus BROADBAND ACCESS data Rev. A in my area.. wait u mean they put 3.5G services in rural areas? yes verizon does... at&t ahahahahahah. thats what they say when you ask them about even 2.5G/3G services in a rural area...

geonap lolatidiots join:2005-12-14 Glendale, CA kudos:1	i've got verizon and tmobile. i've had sprint also, tmobile and att suck in LA, as far as others who i've spoken to, the benefit of tmobile and the 8900 i have is UMA, wifi phone calls. i've converted so many people over from ATT (gsm) to verizon and they now admit that they regret not doing it sooner. gsm may be better in other area's but NOT IN the valley/LA. i'm sitting 3 feet from the window and i have no reception on tmobile, admit it could be the 8900, i also had the older curve titanium with tmo and it wouldn't work, vzw has full reception... VZW works in the garage, TMO doesn't, ATT doesn't either when i look at my friends iphone -- Operation Northwoods "Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious" -Oscar Wilde »www.whatreallyhappened.com/ »tinyurl.com/pxq278 »www.snopes.com/quotes/goering.asp
