Thats why im glad that Orange have started selling it now as well as o2 and soon vodafone. One single network cant keep up with the demand created by the iPhone experience.
Who said that iPhone users around the world aren't having the same problems?Originally Posted by MacRumors said:If its the iPhones fault, not AT&Ts, why arent iPhone users around the world having the same problems as those here in the U.S.?
I am.
I cannot recall having heard of such problems from France or Germany (whose tech-media I follow), nor do I recall dropped calls myself (or from my iPhone-using acquaintances). Whereas my Razr occasionally just would not dial.Who said that iPhone users around the world aren't having the same problems?

Never had a problem in Sweden with my iPhone, nor have I heard about anyone else having problems. Never had a dropped call myself and is getting about 2.1 Mbit/s download speed on 3G. And (of course) I have free tethering included in the service plan (although with a total 5 GByte per month cap).
It seems hard not blaming AT&T for the problems...
Perhaps they were using the headset that came with their phones? guessing Nokia or Sony phones which have had MP3 players and radios for years — phone manufacturers you're not used to in America.Hi there. I happened to visit London in September. Can not say I saw a lot of iPhones. Another observation - a lot of people still using wired head sets (it's all BT here in US).

A NY Times article suggests that the iPhone may be to blame for AT&T's network failures.

I honestly feel bad for the poor souls that are setting up the 3G network... its not like they aren't doing anything...

...its just that AT&T needs to hire an army of workers and get their network up to speed. Heck they should be putting in 4G networks not 3G.
AT&T can't keep up with the saturation of data from iPhone users.
If exclusivity were with Verizon, the same issue would be occurring, and might even be worse.
Isn't that funny?Regarding Grubers claim; iPhone users around the world do have the same problems. iPhone is probably the coolest phone out there but at the same time most unreliable.
