I have no problems with ATT. I started with Sprint in the DC area (they started there, and tried to corner Baltimore & DC when they first went mobile). They sucked bad. Moved to North Shore (Boston), still sucked. Switched to ATT and never looked back.
Having said that, we have three generations of iPhones in our family, and when we go to remote regions everybody has to use my Motorola. I think that if Apple switched to Verizon, everybody would realize it's the phone and not the network.
Having said that, every iPhone has gotten closer and I'm hoping the 4th is a ringer, 'cuz I'd like to get one.
I've always been impressed with RIM's phones, though; they have impressive transceivers (I say that anecdotally; I don't know any specs).
- vl 16y agoNew iPhone has new quite ingenious antenna design - parts of the external steel frame are used as antenna, so there is a good change it will work better than the old iPhone.
- ahk 16y agoAccording to the review, the opposite is the case. The demo at WWDC also indicated that the iPhone 4 was worse than the 3GS even for wifi.
- nfg 16y agoHow so?
- loewenskind 16y agoI don't think the 3GS was on wifi. Where did you find out this was the case?
- astrange 16y agoThey were both on wifi. The problem on the 4 was likely caused by it supporting N, which is of course much better than 3GS's G but is more sensitive to the edge case of ~500 people in the same room as you running wireless base stations without bothering to set up channels properly. I don't think a change to the antenna would affect how it behaves in the same room as its base station, anyway.
