It's a real issue, but it only manifests itself in areas of low signal strength. I can get my phone to go to No Signal just by holding it at home, but at the coffee shop I frequently work from, I cannot reproduce it. My guess is that for all the bitching we tend to do about AT&T, they might actually have pretty decent coverage in general and it's only the people with homes or offices in the lower-power zones on the fringes of a cell's coverage area that see the problem.

My friend with Verizon gets full 3G in the middle of Nebraska. I barely get Edge. No contest.
- BigZaphod 16y agoUm. Okay. All that proves is that Verizon has better coverage in the middle of Nebraska. My speculation is that the reason there hasn't been an enormous outcry about the iPhone antenna issue from the general public is that maybe AT&T is actually doing a pretty good job of covering the majority of their customers and so they don't even notice. The fact that there's areas where other companies have better coverage hardly disproves that.
