Not really, Apple had been struggling for a few years to learn how to make a decent phone too, they just didn't release the ones that kind of sucked.
AT&T (in its previous incarnations as Cingular, SBC, BellSouth, and AT&T) has spent the last twelve years trying to make a functional cell carrier, and it takes them over 70,000 employees to do so. I suspect that Apple's 60,000 employees aren't focused on carrier operations.
