The iphone really is in a bad spot. It's like having a really nice Mercedes on shitty roads. I hope Apple comes to their senses next year. AT&T is a dead end. Any company that prefers to spend more time crying, restricting customers, and suing competitors for their own bandwidth impotence instead of fixing the problem is on an inevitable path to irrelevance. Anytime there is a new app that takes advantage of all the iphones capabilities and requires AT&T's crap network to make it work there they are putting the restraints on it. How many apps never saw the light of day or were removed hours after posting because AT&T started bitching about bandwidth? The world may never know. I currently have an iphone unlocked on T-mobile. I love the phone, but as some of you may know you are stuck at EDGE speeds. Sucks, but it beats paying AT&T for the huge scam that is the iphone plan where you pay premium prices for mediocre to non-existent service. T-mobile may be slower with edge but at least I can use it free of AT&T shackles. Long live Cydia! I'm with many other posters here. I hope Apple opens the platform to other carries next year. Namely Verizon. Apple’s current business partner is making them look bad. I think this ad is so funny and so true. The iphone really is in a bad spot.

We Davita handle all Kaiser Permanente hospital and many other hospital who have a patient that needs dialysis, I am accredited to like 34+ hospital, name it Oakland, Kentfield ,Berkeley, San Jose, San Leandro, Union City, Fair Field, Redwood City, San Bruno, South San francisco, I will not type other places because it will fill this post lol. Everyday I need to go to 3 different hospital. I have 2 cellphone Verizon Driod and AT&T iPhone 3gs. Everytime I need to check emails on that places I always see edge on my AT&T iPhone, I see 3g every once in a blue moon. Then when I check my Verizon Driod it always have fast connection and I can tell you because I have apps on both phone that check the connection speed. (Speed Test) is free apps in I phone and on Moto Droid you can check the speed of the phones data connection. At&T really must admit they have connection all the time but on EDGE! AT&T must improve their 3g connection. I am really happy with verizon their ads for me "THERE'S A MAP FOR THAT" seems to be correct because I proved it on my own experience, I am just saying for my self not in general. I WISH VERIZON GETS THE IPHONE Q1 OF 2010, SO THEY CAN GET AT&T CUSTOMERS. and I dont mind ditching my AT&T contract even paying termination fee is not a problem, because why would I stay on a service just to a void paying termination fee? For me that is so dumb. I just want to get what I pay for. VERIZON please get iPhone Q1 of 2010, I cant wait for the iPhone Hybrid in Q3. But right now I am happy with moto Droid they even have an APPS that you can just type the mp3 that you want and download it direct to the phone lol. And its pretty fast when downloading mp3 and streaming video using verizon, at&t streaming video Sad to say their service for me really sucks. I am thinking now of paying the termination fee because right now I am Enjoying Moto Droid of Verizon and it does what my iPhone can do and the fact that it has google map that use as a GPS it will automatically go STREET VIEW before you got near the intersection, take note with ARROWS on the STREET VIEW on the Moto Droid how can u miss a turn. AT&T i will be visiting you this week afters PacQuio and Coto fight. A LOYAL CUSTOMER HERE FOR ALMOST 4 YRS FINALLY REALIZES TO DITCH YOUR SERVICE. HELLO VERIZON I AM AT YOUR LAND NOW AND WAITING FOR THE IPHONE. If I own Verizon I will let AT&T customer to have 1 or 2 weeks test of their service so they can convince that its worth paying the termination fee of AT&T and having 3g almost everywhere using Verizon service. it’s so true I live here in san fransisco, I am a Davita dialysis nurse, Every hospital that we are assinged we need to be accredited.

They say 3G coverage and they show 3G coverage. ATT's logic is that they cover a closer PERCENTAGE of total customers with 3G. Hello, they are showing a geographic map. Perhaps they have Miss Teen South Carolina on their legal team. "I believe that, most people don't have access to 3G coverage maps, like the iphonelovers and the ATTlegalteam and like such as like customers don't consider the map when they just want an Iphone like such as." Hurt feelings does not a successful lawsuit make. Quit wasting our courts' time with frivolous whining ATT (and that goes to any company that whines about something that is perfectly true).

I live in the Tampa Bay area and after a few weeks with my Cliq (pre-ordered) have lost my 3G signal maybe once or twice and its a pretty large area. Very happy with T-mobile, the network and the Cliq. @coolmandingo, I’ll echo phoenix’s sentiment.

When Android continues its path to become more popular you will also get more developers which will probably start porting over apps to Android. I'm sure developers that want to sell will prefer to an OS that they can get consumers to buy across multiple carriers as opposed to just the iPhone on AT&T. Also when google finally decides to release the source code for Eclair, I think the competition is going to get better. I not saying Android will take over and destroy iPhone, no not at all, but I believe Android will be as popular and there will be so many phones running it that it will be hard to avoid! I'm sure most of you have to agree on that. As I much as I agree that iPhone Sales may be the highest of sales, I just say be patient and see.

It hardly seems like a misfit. There are tens of thousand of apps for it, even if the policy is strict, that is more than enough for 99% of its users. I'm all for Android but the iPhone still rocks. I don't think there's anyone who can deny that. ari-free: Have you seen the iPhones sales numbers? It hardly seems like a misfit.

Very happy with the service here in chicago, no problems finding 3g coverage here. Would love to have an iPhone to run on T-Mobiles network but can't afford the $600.00 will have to make due with mytouch for now. Att's network sucks because of iPhone overload.
