Coverage is King

    • AT&T's "Edge" Network Shatters iPhone Mobile Web Expectations [view article]
      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!
