I'd rather AT&T concentrate on providing, you know, BASIC COVERAGE IN THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. My coverage in So. Cal. is so spotty that my shiny white iPhone is more an expensive iPod Touch than a functional phone.
And I live/work in areas that are "supposed" to have "very good" coverage.
Might be the phone. And I'm not saying that to blast Apple or anything, but I live in So Cal and have had a dropped call maybe once or twice since I started using my N95 last March on ATT. Now, before that I had a N93 and that thing dropped calls like crazy or wouldn't even make the calls in the first place. I honestly think that the providers take the fall a lot of times for phones with sub-par chips. For example, I spoke to a guy recently who works at a cell phone boutique in Sherman Oaks who said the reason the Sony Xperia X1a was recalled was due to bad 3G chips. And didn't the iPhone have similar woes? Juat saying, can't always blame the provider.
Definitely worth a check at the Apple store to see if your iPhone should be replaced. Mine had to be and now service is MUCH better. Still occasional dropped calls (two tonight!), but not too bad.
