Ah ok.. I only beat you by like 120 mins.. but I've only had a few dropped calls between my two iphones.. most are while I'm talking to another AT&T user.. I don't think they like to give priority to the free calls.

So far none!.. but i do notice the service go down A LOT.. I can't believe they let that shit through.. anyone do any fucking testing?

I work for an IT company if we did something like that, I don't think we'd be in business.

You talk at least double the amount of time I do then. I hate being on the phone, texting is just fine for me unless its an emergency. Probably why I dont notice more dropped calls.

Have you tried the youtube method yet to test it out to see if you can do it? That shit is hilarious. Poor poor quality testing.

Probably missed it cause they tested the thing in a fake cover like the one the apple engineer who lost his had instead of the real case.

It's hilarious they are going to have to put a plastic covering over it to stop the drop calls from grabbing the metal.

If my mom and dad lived near me, it would probably drop to 20 mins, but my mom calls me to bother me regularly.

I'm amused by the amount of shit sandwich Apple Fan bois and fan goirls are willing to eat.

Fan Boi / Fan Goirl: My latest i-Tard device doesn't work!!!

Apple: You're doing it wrong....asshole...here...buy this Apple propietary cover...that will fix it.

Fan Boi / Fan Goirl: Absolutely...look look!!! It has the i-Tard logo and EVERYTHING!!! I'd LOVE to pay for functionality that should have been there to begin with.

Yeah if i hold it a certain way (not the way i normally hold the phone) I can get it to drop 4 bars and even sometimes lose the signal altogether.. I used a case the whole time i had the 3gs and always had perfect service. I guess I'll get some off ebay again for this one..

Uh, for what it's worth, those Apple customers are a tiny, tiny fraction. Maybe the most vocal, but that's not the mood of most customers.

I have very specific reasons to "hate on" Apple and their hipper than thou fan bois....having said that, I have a Blackberry Storm and believe me, there is NOTHING you can say to "hate on" it that I haven't already said....at least once...or twice. It's a real piece of shit but I'm stuck with it until Christmas as I used my free upgrade to get my daughter a new mobile for Christmas last year.
