RE: AT&T takes the phone out of iPhone
campjh@... 23rd Sep 2009
I have been a 3G user a bit over a year. I live outside of
Philadelphia. I moved to the iPhone from a Blackberry on
Verizon.

The coverage is not as bad here, not as good as Verizon,
but not like what you experience in San Fran. BUT, screwy
things happen often. I can be on a call in one place in my
house and, for no apparent reason, the call drops. I was at
a stop light earlier in the week, bang - call dropped. AT&T
definitely has problems. I took my iPhone to Italy for 16
days - not one dropped call while I was there, which at
international rates, I would have been okay with a few
dropped calls. Visual Voicemail did not work right
internationally, but that was easy to work around the old
fashioned way - calling my voice mailbox.

I have three iPhones in the family and we chose not to
upgrade to 3GS phones, as we hope the iPhone for launch
in the summer of 2010 will support the Verizon network. I
am not a big MMS user, but after getting rid of my
blackberry, I lost my tether capability. I went back to
Verizon for that service as I did not want to reward AT&T
for poor performance. Hope that helps....
