Is AT&T to Blame for 3G's Performance in the iPhone?

absolutely. i've noticed substantial differences in my iphone's data retrieval performance depending on the time of day (best late at night), location (urban areas best), outdoors (better), and whether or not i'm on the road/moving. so anyone standing outside using their iphone in midtown manhattan at 3 am is in for a treat :-/ i am also using the data features much more than i anticipated, so it's not a stretch to think that many others are as well, and that the scale of the data traffic bump wasn't appreciated by both at&t, and probably by apple, which presumably would have better warned at&t! despite all that, i'm loving the phone and optimistic about future improvements in service.
