said by joebear29:I just got an iPhone 3GS last weekend (my first smartphone). I was migrating from Verizon.
I was braced for horrific connectivity based on what Ive read, but so far its been near flawless. It seems like 3G is everywhere, and I get pretty decent speeds when using it.
Of course, that is anecdotal based off my first week and a half of owning the phone. Still, I wonder how much of the problem is confined to places where lots of people like gadgets like iPhones, such as relatively affluent large urban areas? I may be having good results because I am in Birmingham, and fewer people per capita use smartphones.
Either way, I have been pleasantly surprised so far.
Which is further proof that the quality of the 3g coverage is based on the area you are in. 3g is great here in my area on AT&T. On Verizon, its great to excellent. So who is right here?
