I had more trouble

Keeping a good signal on the radio stations for updates than I did making calls or sending text messages. AT&T was rock solid on data and voice.

Oh, and a helpful tip during power outages... I don't know if PC laptops will do this, but a Mac laptop will continue to provide power on the USB ports even when the lid is closed and sleeping. I was able to use mine as a huge power brick to recharge phones while the power was out.

The last few Dells I've had support this feature. Usually you have to trun it on in the BIOS and it only works on one USB port.
