Well I got the iphone and I’m completely disappointed. Is the phone cool heck Yes, but the call clarity stinks!!! I do not know if I got a lemon or if it’s the ATT network but the voice quality is the pits. Maybe I’m just used to Verizon and this is how GSM sounds, or maybe the iphone just has muffled call clarity, I dunno but I don’t want to struggle hearing people anymore 👿 👿 Back to verizon 😢

I told you call quality sucked. And it's the iPhone mostly. The Treo 680 next to the iPhone display made calls crystal clear.

I'm gonna hate myself for saying this, but... take the phone back to the ATT or Apple Store and have 'em check it out- you may have just gotten a bad one.

If that isn't it, then yeah, the ATT network sucks for you. I know a lot people on ATT who don't so much drop the call as have t...

OK maybe is was just a lemon phone, worth a try before I totally bag it...I know verizon is good but I just couldn't imagine ATT would sound this poor, hopefully it is just bad one. Thanks

I can also verify the Cingular/ATT difference in call clarity and overall quality. I thought my Sync was just horrible in the earpiece and the amount of time it took to connect a call. I upgraded to the KRAZR about 3 months ago and still have the same issues with loudness and clarity and that garbled sound others describe. The 3G network isn't all it's cracked up to be in my opinion either. The Sync ran off 3G and dropped way more calls than my KRAZR that runs of Edge. All that said, it still doesn't even come close to quality of Verizon.

I agree. I think we all have to admit we are a little intrigued by the iPhone. I am. I'm not saying I want one in the least. I wouldn't touch one, at least this early in the game. But what would we all be doing if Verizon had the exclusive to this phone? You bet I would at least try it. It's a brand new design, and an intriguing one at that. If you're like me, you're just waiting for the other manufacturers to follow up now. I'm waiting for an LG version in my case (US bound Prada perhaps?). I will give Apple kudos for shifting the cell phone parameters. However, would I want an iPhone? No. But, like was stated above, at least he was honest. He thought it was cool, he tried it, it sucked, and he admitted it.

Since you have one and actually seem to be a reasonable and rational person (the iPhone forum is like verbal mud wrestling), can you verify the picture messaging issue? A lot of feedback saying it doesn't support picture and video messaging, and I just can't see Apple being that insane. Is it just difficult to figure out how to send a picture/video message?

at this point the iPhone cannot send picture messages. It is possible that apple will release a software upgrade to fix this, but as of now, no can do!

Wished it didn't, but every single one I have sampled I couldn't hear well at all with.

I even went to an AT&T store and the signal strength on all 3 iPhones was 1 bar to no bars. No other phone in the store had this poor of a signal.

Yes same here. Like everyone was saying, Apple can't make the perfect phone on the first try, no mattery what iJobs says.
