AT&T Customers Continuing to Experience Excessive Dropped Calls

It makes no difference for me with dropped calls. My LG phone drops as many calls as my iPhone 4.
These studies are all pointless because service different everywhere. Just go with what works in your area.
So true. Where I'm at I've had 2 dropped calls since owning the 3G when it first came out, and now having the 4. The last one dropped was my fault, because I was down inside a parking garage. Other than that, I've never had issues.
I think the problem is people buy without researching. They find the shiny new phone, buy it and THEN decide if it works, regardless of carrier. I don't get it?

A new survey from ChangeWave Research reveals that the firm's business-focused survey base is seeing the highest percentage of dropped calls (4.5%) on AT&T, easily exceeding performance leader Verizon (1.5%), as well as Sprint (2.4%) and T-Mobile (2.8%).
Not only is AT&T trailing the other major U.S. carriers, but the poor performance is part of a trend of increasing drop calls against the background of improving performance from rival Verizon, as well as major investments made by AT&T to address performance in some of its most troubled markets.
The survey notes that the percentage of dropped calls for each carrier closely mirrors customer satisfaction, with 49% of survey respondents on Verizon indicating that they are "very satisfied" with their carrier, while only 23% of AT&T customers in the survey pool indicated the same.
ChangeWave's study focused on voice services, where AT&T apparently continues to struggle. A study released earlier this year indicated that AT&T's data service has improved markedly in most markets, pushing the carrier to the top of the heap by many metrics.

It appears you can scan how good your connection is working and let AT&T now or something?
