Do they have an app that allows you to make calls without dropping them?

ha! some people preferr to have their calls made every time... not just have a shiney do-little-but-pay-too-much-for, phone on a crap carrier. Hey, hows that 3g service on ATT treating ya? When you're tired of dropped calls and horrid service, let me know, ill set you up with a new line at VZW! :O)

Maybe you guys should be looking at the touchpro touchHD or blackberry thunder. Its still hard for me to understand why there are so many people who hate iphone on the iphone forums.

I think its because of those people out there on forums that diss anything that isnt an Iphone on a forum that has nothing to do with the Iphone. Thats why alot of people do it.

Your use of run-on sentences reduces your credibility. Your use of Caps Lock is embarrassing, and eliminates any credibility you have. I would probably get on your case about making jokes about disabled people, but the irony of your existence is much too funny. Cheers

you sound so dumb right now #11. How can using Caps lock be embarrassing? what he's saying can lose its persuasiveness but I don't understand how it can be embarrassing. and the irony of his existence is much too funny? what is so ironic of him being alive right now. You sound dumber than he does.

Actually the use of Caps, as you may or may not have learned, is to draw attention. Clearly the statement has done just that as you've taken time out of your day to comment on it. YOU look like a complete moron, hope you drank enough after your cheers to wash away in your own sorrows....

Wow, how old are you? Like 10? If you want a portable gaming device get a PSP or a DS, if you want a cell phone that actually has 3G and the best coverage get VZW

After reading all the above - I think a few are missing the point of the article. It doesn't matter who thinks what carrier has better service. The point is made in the article - do the math morons. 60 million applications downloaded. If the percentages hold constant - then 90% of those were revenue producing. Let's also assume that the average price was $5.00. An assumption - but it states that 10% were free and 90% were under $10 so $5 seems a safe bet. 90% of 60 million is 54 million times $5/app is ...wait for it....that's right $270 M in approximately 2 months (annualized that is about $1.6 Billion in revenue). I think coverage becomes a non-issue at this point, shiny small rectagular boxes must be the reason or perhaps a good business model. 2 years down the road - probably a $5B/year business in downloads alone - with NO overhead! After that - Verizon will probably come out with a competitor (or Sprint or T-Mobile).

thats true. Just like the #s say that Verizon has the best call quality, the #s also show that apple is making a ton of money off their app store alone. And at least somebody here is actually paying attention to the point of the article. Instead of saying "oh Verizon is better" or "AT&T is the best," you actually provided some real statistics to proves apples succes regardless of Verizon's call quality. Do any of you Verizon people want to do some math and see how much Verizon has made in revenue with its rhapsody crap? Because I know not one person who has the monthly subscription.

yea considering vcast with rhapsody has only been out for the past month right? how about you do some math and compare the amount of customers Verizon gained despite the release of the iPhone. Verizon beat ATT is every aspect from revenue to churn rates...call quality to customer satisfaction. There's a reason Apple approached Verizon with the device first. chew on that for a bit before you think about a rebuttle

Back to the Verizon thing are we? That's not the point. Verizon may have low churn and great cell phone revenue. But this is Apple NOT AT&T. Apple is generating the revenue here which has HUGE margins. Apple has NO cell towers, and all that other billion dollar infrastructure (billions actually) to run a wireless network. All Apple has to do is sell phones - which people are buying in droves. I'd be curious to know what the churn rate is for those who own the iphone. I bet it is MUCH lower than other AT&T phones. The point is - people are buying the phone NOT the service. What a great business model! I sell you the phone, I don't have to support the network and you buy more stuff from me. The iphone is NOT a phone - it is a multi-media device which prints money with great margins. This is about Apple's business model NOT AT&Ts.

Firmware update 2.1 is comin out Friday, maybe that will shut up some haters. Hopefully it takes care of issues they've had with the new iPhone.
