A shame a majority of these users are iPhone users who can't use the 3g because of a major design flaw in the device. |

Hingham, MA | You really think a majority of US 3G users are iPhone users? The iPhone sold much better than we all could have guessed, then... |

nobody else but people with the iPhone are the ones having a problem.
Apple reduced the frequency the phone operates on to conserve battery life. Hence why people are dropping calls and can barely hold a 3g signal
This is old news at most mobile websites  |

| Blackberries have always been shitty with RF
this is nothing new
I've had 2
Ever since I switched to Nokias and Ericcsons I've never had a dropped call or net timeouts.
Here is video proof of the terrible rf the iPhone comes with

I've got an old piece of shit RAZR that works incredibly with AT&T's so-called 'crap-ass' network. I've never had an issue with AT&T's network, even with 3G (on my N95).

said by Mike :It's actually AT&T crap ass network. Agreed. I had no idea AT&T's 3G deployment was so horrible until recently, after buying an iPhone 3G. Initially I assumed it was Apple's problem, but as I began complaining around friends with other 3G phones on AT&T, I heard the same complaints from them as well.
The ubiquity of 3G hardware is meaningless in the absence of a robust 3G network to support it.

3.5g is stable and I never see edge.
I'm guessing in rural areas it's a problem

Even my father is having problems with his iPhone 3g here in NYC.
It's a combination of a shitty phone and badly placed towers.
