Gizmodo tells the story of a guy who brings his iPhone to Apple to be looked at because he’s getting a lot of dropped calls.  Apple runs some diagnostics, finds that he’s dropping 22% of his calls, and tells him he’s actually getting better performance than most.

This is why I dumped AT&T.  If my call went through (about 50% of the time), it would get dropped about 50% of the time if the call was longer than two minutes.  I still find it amazing that AT&T can’t provide good coverage in the middle of NYC, while Verizon is excellent and T-Mobile is mostly good.

I’d bet you’d have better luck with signal at the top of a mountain than in the middle of NYC.
