This whole "thing" is just ridiculous, it makes me laugh.. its all talk & bs. Every AT&T iPhone owner out there has/does experience really poor network service since the iPhone launched back in 07, yet, some still complain, rage, blog, create class actions lawsuits about the antennae issue on the new iPhone, but disregard the crappy service for years?? I'm not saying to sue AT&T, but to look at the bigger picture. Quit complaining, it's an amazing device, and I'm sure the issue will be resolved soon, remember - everyone at apple uses the phone too, its not some fly-by device just to make money, but to actually make life easier, to have a device that really represents innovation, that's why apple created the iPhone, "they" were sick of using the crap on the market, and now what? Everyone smartphone resembles the iPhone in some form or another...get over it, soon everyone will have an iPhone 4, just like the first gen, and iPods. No need to get mad, or rage - address your issues, and I'm sure apple will take care of it, eventually :)

I'm sorry, that's not correct. We have all three generations of iPhones in our family, and we all use AT&T. I don't have an iPhone, I have a Motorola handset. My Motorola will make calls when the iPhones can't get any signal. The whole family has to use my phone when we go to remote areas. Furthermore, my AT&T/Motorola combination outperforms the same model phone on Verizon in the marinas on the Northeast coast (Boston - Baltimore) and in the mountains of W VA and Western Maryland. These are the only places I've been able to do direct comparisons, but I've never been in a situation where some other service had better coverage than AT&T (that is, I've never had to borrow someone else's phone on a different network to make a call). The reason I haven't bought an Android is that I don't want to give up AT&T service. Not a fanboi at all; in fact, I've been pissed at them in the past. But in my observation they are superior, at least in the regions I haunt. I understand the transceiver sensitivity of the iPhone 4 is finally quite good, and I was/am looking forward to maybe getting one. But until now, it has never impressed me as a phone, which is what I mainly need it for (it's my primary business line and I won't take a chance on inferior coverage).

  That may be the case, but, here in San Francisco, 3G coverage lacks. AT&T told me that the towers in my neighborhood are "degraded", and even when directing my phone to new towers, I'm still unable to make calls, while 3G is enabled, nonetheless, my point is that this antenna issue is minor, and "people" should not go on a rant just because. I find your case very interesting, and am very jealous. :(

    I agree with you that this doesn't seem to be an issue to get that upset about, especially if a case is all that's required to fix it. And that really sucks about AT&T in SF; I wouldn't have thought they'd let that city get away from them. I'm interested to see if there is more to it than meets the eye, though.
