Fewest Dropped Calls My Ass
I had Verizon - Switched to AT&T for the iPhone - Love the iPhone; however, in the 5 years I was with Verizon all the calls that I had not dropped were made up by AT&T immediately after I established a 2 year service contract with them. I regularly drop calls, experience static of all things (like a radio) and cannot place calls at times for unknown technical reasons, with AT&T. It is not the iPhone causing these issues. Regardless, I love the iPhone and lack of a great network is completely worth having the iPhone, for me. By the way, if you're reading this from a Window's based PC get a Mac.
...
Are you staying with AT&T then? I'm thinking of doing the same thing. My contract is up and I really like the iphone. Any advice would be appreciated.

read all you can. Don't be blinded by the flash. Make sure the substance is there, Its a $600 cell phone. You can get far more in a cell phone for $600-700.

Now there is a typical Apple Kool-aid drinker.
Leaves a network he was satisfied with just to pay ...

I work in video production and I really love the way a Mac integrates their applications with one another. I'm able to stay very organized and share things from one device to another, seamlessly...and yes, including my iPod. Sounds like you're really upset and take things personally - keep in mind, everyone has their own right to decide what they like and don't like, for me...it has never been due to a logo for any product. My decision to continue using the iPhone and stay with AT&T is similar to driving a Lamborghini...it gets horrible gas mileage, but it's amazing.

Maybe that's important to him? Somebody has to drive a Lambo, even though you (or I) wouldn't...

So is the point of having a cell phone to make calls...or to play around with nice software. Did Apple's marketing team convince you to pay 500 to 600 dollars for a glorified ipod that can make an occasional clear phone call?

I have both Verizon and AT&T, while the the Verizon network is generally, but not always, better, my experience all over the country with AT&T does match what you describe.
It is the iPhone.

Sorry it should be "my experience all over the country with AT&T does NOT match what you describe."

I'm an Apple user, so don't peg me as an iPhone critic. If you're hearing static, there's an equipment problem. It could be the phone, but it's more likely the SIM card. Try replacing that to see if it fixes the static problem. If it doesn't, then there's a phone problem.
Static would be an audible hiss. If you're hearing the other parties voice cut out that's a loss of signal. You can get a loss of voice on GSM, but not static. Static indicates a device problem.

After all that hassle, he says to get a Mac? I'll touch nothing that's a part of Apple. V...

AT&T is the iPhone's weakest link - Yes, get a Mac. The iPhone experience on AT&T's network is like having a high-performance engine running on 87 octane gasoline.

Ask Apple if you can take it to T-Mobile, if you're really that unhappy with at&t.

CDMA would be such a better fit for the iPhone.
Apple shoulda went with Sprint or Vz

Apple's first choice was VZW. Apple and VZW couldn't come to an agreement. Probably VZW wanted their UI and BREW on the VZW iPhone, wanted to block URL's, and a list of other things. jk.
...
I knew they didn't come to an agreement. As far as UI and BREW, why doesn't that supprise me?
Only if VZW would losen up a little and install J2ME, VZW would be deadly.

Wow this guys the the mentality or a dry fart. Your service is not just dependant on the service provider. Your Iphone and any motorola product will never stand up in drive tests to the sony ericsson or nokia models of the same price range. You bought a shiny turd aka an Iphone. Yes the shiny turd looks nice but the sound quality and "phone related abilities" suck ass. I love that you can't annoy us with mp3 ringtones since your Iphone is so damn proprietary that there are lawsuits restricting your use at this time. So in closing you elitist wanker take your shiny turd and go sit in the corner with the rest of your elist nerd types and talk qauntum physics all you want. I'll be over on the other side eyeing a hot red head and buying h...

Its probably not our network its the stupid iphone. It is apples first phone you know. As far as I know they manufactured all their own parts. So if the phone side is dropping calls it could be partially due to lower compatibilty than some of the other phones. this is the same problem LG had when they first started making GSM phones.
