Apple iPhone
As a gadget, very nice, as a phone...the worst!!!!!!!!
No, it's not the network that I can blame, it's the hardware/software of the Iphone that is just horrid in holding a signal. I have dropped a total of 24 calls in five days throughout Southern California using the 101 Freeway. On my last business trip, I took my V9M and Iphone together so I could really test it out.

Hmmm... it's not the network? So you're comparing a V9m (CDMA phone) to a iPhone (GMS phone)? Or does Motorola made a V9M that works on ATT's GSM network that I'm not aware of?
I also have lots of dropped calls here in the Metro DC area but I've tested the iPhone vs a V3i and both drop the call at the same points with ATT. The V3i on TMobile works fine with no dropped cal...
