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.

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).
- fady 16y agoThat 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. :(
- dhimes 16y agoI 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.
