So he's been using the perfect phone for two years then a new service comes and gets rejected and he drops the best mobile computing platform ever?

I know everybody is milking the GV fiasco, but this borders on stupidity.

He's got a phone that drops calls, doesn't work well in his home and can't run the apps he wants to run. Stupidity eh?

>> "a phone that drops calls"

This whole "The iPhone drops calls" thing it like blaming Ferarri because your car keeps skidding on the dirt track roads in your country. If you want a telephone system that works, don't live in the US.

Except it drops calls significantly more than other phones on the network. This isn't an issue confined to AT&T. They have released some firmware updates to help which is further evidence that it's not just the network.

All I know is that it never drops calls in the UK, and my experience of cellphones and landlines in the US has always been absolutely abysmal.
