  • Will a Black Eye from Consumer Reports Hurt AT&T, iPhone? [View article]
    The CR report on Cell Phones is bogus.

    The statistics behind the report really suggest that the networks are more alike. Big deal - 7/10 Verzion vs 6.5 ATT like their service.

    CR is going to go the way of the Dodo bird, with their old fashioned ideas and backwards mentality (I realized that years ago when they told readers to resist the switch from the old round 5" and 7" headlights on cars!)

  • Apple's iPhone vs. RIM's BlackBerry: Who Wins on Comparison? [View article]
    I have to disagree with the author:

    1. iPhone is a great phone for talking and phenomenal for conferencing.

    2. ATT has been better than Verizon for me - signal everywhere and no limitation on combined voice/data with ATT

    3. Battery life has be fine. Never gone dead yet.

    4. iPhone keyboard is fast - I tied a Crackberry addict (boy, was she pissed!)

    5. Mail on the iPhone is fantastic - I have a gmail account which allows push along with immediate OTA calendar synchronization.

  • My New iPhone 3GS: Beyond Awesome [View article]
    I don't understand the problems people have with ATT. I had Verzion beforehand and now ATT and have not had any problems, both in rural and in metropolitan areas.

  • Can AT&T Handle the iPhone? [View article]
    I have not had any problems with ATT. Verizon, my prior carrier, was no better (and had worse customer service than ATT).

    I think ATT has become the (undeserved ) whipping boy of the wireless industry.

  • AT&T: The iPhone's Achilles' Heel [View article]
    ATT is NOT as BAD as the press and blog world would have you think!

    I am a previous VZW customer and found ATT to be just as good if not better.

  • Does Verizon Really Need the iPhone? [View article]
    I think ATT is getting a bum rap. I rarely have problems with ATT, certainly no more than I did when I had Verizon.

    Unfortunate for ATT but they are the current popular whipping boy.

  • Dear Palm CEO: Here's What It Would Take to Get Me to Switch [View article]
    I like the idea of making the Pre screen bigger. It is bearly readable at the current size and the screen buttons are too small and hard to hit. The keyboard is too small too. A bigger Pre (the Post?) could solve many problems - bigger screen easier to read and operate, bigger keyboard faster to type and why not a bigger battery. Now you have solved three major problems with the Pre.

    (PS: I am a happy iPhone user who loves the on screen keyboard.)

    Verizon won't get the iPhone until they dump CDMA for 4G LTE in 2010 or 2011.

    Verizon is too stupid to go with the iPhone or Android.

  • Apple's Walmart Deal Will Effectively Kill Google's Android [View article]
    Consumer Reports surveys are not reliable as the surveys center around major cities. T-Mobile has major issues in more rural areas. Also, they do not report the difference between the 'best' and other levels in their reports, so 'bad' may not really be that bad so to speak.
