Why do we talk about this out of date phone anymore?

Maybe because its getting nowhere close to being out of date. Go to CNN and one of their headlining articles is CNN launches iphone app. I don't think CNN thinks the phone is out of date either. But anyways, I don't know why the reader still has an iphone or still has AT&T if it gets 30% dropped calls.

Dude... apps are what people use. If you have a device that runs apps that you need and functions as a phone, you are right, what else do you need? That super sucks that people are getting 30% dropped calls... get a new phone or new network... lol! Honestly, if I were experiencing anything like that, I would drop the carrier and the phone. What do you use your phone for?? Applications and as a phone. Think about it.

Funny... My wife just called me and said that she has been trying to call me for the past hour and couldn't get ahold of me and that it would just say there are too many subscribers or something... Just dropped 2 calls with my wife just now, even after reseting my iPhone... *Fanboys Suck eats his own words...* I've got nothing.

OK, third party apps or not, you are still using applications on the phone (texting, email, etc). I apologize for not specifying third party or not, but regardless, the phone has lots of applications, and people use it. But Apple has the App Market hands down right now, for now...

i dont consider sms text and my email icon an app bro. and there is great software from the bb app world and crackberry, so i'm not sure apple is ahead of blackberry. i'm just saying the iphone commercials suck. we know there are apps to do what every worthless thing you want. but advertise some new things that are on it.

How people can defend a network that is having so many problems is blind loyalty. Why would anyone stay on a carrier, or use a device, that drops an abnormal amount of calls? I'm not sold on the percentages, statistics can blatantly lie at times. Yet knowing the network has issues, people continue to buy this device. Like I mentioned in another post: At&t's 3G network is having the same performance issues as Nextel's iDEN, which is never good.

I know nothing of IDEN having issues now, maybe in the past but not now, because data wasn't thier forte it was nowhere near the extent of ATT

There are still issues with iDEN, they just aren't well documented anymore because it is commonplace. I have a Nextel Blackberry 8350i, and every now and then, messages will be delayed for an hour or two. The issue with not being able to place calls has not shown up yet with my device, but there are still some messaging questions with the iDEN network.

What i thought was funny was how many dropped calls I had with an Instinct S30. I know the Instinct line was supposed to be Sprints "iphone killer" last year. It looks like they decided to fight them on all fronts, even on the magnatude of dropped calls. But I never reached 22% of my calls dropped. The iphone wins at sucking again.

Its the phone. The Genius Bar Tech has noway of validating whether or not the drop call is happening outside of the device saying the call dropped. Any tech with Verizon Wireless will tell you that a phone can be the cause of the drop calls. The problem is Apple has there ass covered on this issue for one reason. AT&T cannot replace the phone... So if AT&T looks to validate your claims that you are having dropped calls they can actually see it... They can even tell what time and what tower dropped the call. Problem is when they validate that it is not their fault they have to send you to Apple to seek a fix... Apple then can look at you and say the following... You need to clear your flash memory so the phone will not drop calls or what you are experiencing is normal its the carriers fault. The iPhone is a fantastic phone but people are forgetting this issue has been present in the phone since the 2G....
