I think it works for us because we're in NYC. In New York, AT&T uses 850MHz for 3G. In other cities AT&T uses 1900MHz, which would tend to perform worse.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Huh - interesting! Either way, I'm keeping it.

The status is NOT quo.
Jessica, I've heard that from a few other people, too. Drew said he and Tom tried to replicate the problem and couldn't.

That's all well and good, but until the Consumer Reports thing came out, weren't they denying that the signal was affected at all? Now their excuse is "everyone does it"? Please.

When were they denying it? Citation please. They never denied it.

They denied that it actually affected the signal as much as people said--it was an issue that you shouldn't have been seeing that many bars of signal to start with!! Yeah, RIGHT.

It has been mishandled, that is certain, but it's also been blown out of proportion.
I've watched the iPhone 4 more than once next to my 3G, and even with the signal attenuation issues, it outperforms my 3G reception.

What meara said. Sorry if I exaggerated.
