Verizon's Anti-iPhone PR Campaign

Well, I've had my iphone (3g) now for 4 days. For whatever reason, I left the Apple store with 2.0.1. On my way home I had one dropped call. Since updating to 2.0.2 I haven't experienced any drops. The Iphone itself is awesome, there's so many cool functions and applications, however I do have to agree that the ATT service is crap (I'm coming from Verizon which I've had for the last 7 or 8 years). I'm barely able to get 3G, when I have it it's usually 1 bar which is sqaut. On Edge, even with a full signal, I can't get page loads on Safari or connect to Itunes to search apps. Edge is pretty much like having a very poor dial up connection. I'm hoping that the 3G issue is more just localized around my house as I'm on vacation this week so I haven't yet been able to test the network from my normal everyday locations. Hopefully when I'm at the shore over the next few days I'll be able to get a clear 3G signal. Other than ATT's network, I love the phone, I just wish we were free to choose the carrier.
