Didn't know where to post it. Blog article about the shit-tastic AT&T data network, which makes a reference to "Meet The Beatles," interestingly (did he mean "With The Beatles?"). Longish but a good read. Dale should love this.

Now there was a lot of demand for that record — so much that the plant that printed the records could not keep up. Now here’s the lesson. Do you think the guys who were running Capitol Records said, Gee whiz, the kids are buying up this record at such a crazy pace that our printing plant can’t keep up — we’d better find a way to slow things down. Maybe we can create an incentive that would discourage people from buying the record. Do you think they said that? No, they did not. What they did was, they went out and found another printing plant. And another one and another one, until they could make as many records as people wanted.

I find it hilarious that people pay AT&T for such shitty service just to own an iPhone. LOL.

I thought you would enjoy it. It's everything you love - Bealtes love and AT&T / iPhone bashing!

I had AT&T before I had an iphone and FWIW I never have problems with my network/streaming/calls. But we've been over this before.

BTW, one of my business partners got a Droid: its fine but i'll still take my iphone. Keep grasping.

From what everyone I know tells me, The Droid is fine if you've never had the iPhone, if not, it doesn't compete.

And, it's not AT&T, it's the iPhone that is the problem in terms of dropping calls, etc.

If I were making odds, I'd rate em 1:2 that I go ahead and opt out of my contract and go iPhone before the year is out.

The gripes in the linked blog aren't about dropped calls, but the shit-tastic data bandwidth and coverage. Appurrrently AT&T skimped on data infrastructure spending pre-iPhone, and then when shit blew up, they didn't scramble to fix it, instead opting to try and get people to use LESS.

after spending the last couple of days checking out my brother-in-law's droid, i'll say it's definitely the closest anyone's ever come to an iphone killer, but it's still light years short
