I love my iPhone, I hate AT&T with a passion

I used to be a Verizon customer – a very satisfied one as my calls would never drop. I ditched them for a device I love just like many have done. Some people claim that AT&T’s network has suffered because of users like me are taking up all the bandwidth or something. Whatever: you get exclusive access to the hottest piece of hardware out there, make sure your network can handle it or you’re going to lose customers, as I will be looking to do in 2011 when my current 2 years are up and when Droid matures even more. But in the meantime, AT&T? The truth hurts:

AT&T did not file this lawsuit because Verizon’s “There’s A Map For That” advertisements are untrue; AT&T sued because Verizon’s ads are true and the truth hurts.

Smart move, AT&T: all of your customers know your coverage sucks. Your iPhone customers are dissatisfied with your service and would jump ship in a heartbeat. Maybe you have the “Nation’s Fastest 3G Network” but it’s only in the relatively rare cases where my phone can find it. Good move on a lawsuit as a response to something we all know is the truth.

I honestly thought I had gotten past having to actually check the number of bars my phone was getting when I was with Verizon. Not so now that I’ve switched to an inferior network. AT&T? You suck.

iPhone application ratings are useless

By mike

Ever look at some of the reviews of iPhone apps? Ever actually read the idiocy that people think is okay to put up there?

Get a new system of ratings, or at least moderate the most stupid ones, Apple.
