Coverage is King

AT&T's "Edge" Network Shatters iPhone Mobile Web Expectations

Bay Area/BART coverage issues - capacity and connectivity - are nothing new for cell phones, unfortunately. That said, I have had fine iPhone/Edge experiences in:
- Philly
- Pittsburgh
- Houston
- Austin
- Vegas
- Laredo
- DC
- Tennessee

I am opening attachments, reading pdf's, linking to articles, loading videos. Financial transactions work fine, too. Sure, at times things are slower to load than other times. Just like a commute that sometimes hits... traffic! It happens.

So my fine experiences in 8 locations trump your single sucky one.

If you absolutely must engage in reading during your 8 minutes under the Bay, try an older analog technology. It's called a newspaper. You know, where real journalists used to ply a meaningful trade. Or HEY! Use that iPOD feature. Watch a podcast. Or two! Even better use of the technology.

Here's how to find wifi spots with your iphone -- turn wifi on and ask to join networks. VERY difficult, I know.

How did you get overcharged? Why can't you figure out basic instructions for getting $100? Why can't you fight for yourself when you are owed money? Or are you so wealthy that facts and figures don't matter much, so long as you have a soapbox from which to pout in public? Poor widdle baby cannot figure out hard things! Waaaaahhh
