For you and maybe some other people as well, you mean. AT&T isn't for, I dunno, people who live in areas not covered by them?
Oh this is fun! I'll play as well!
I've had a Droid Eris for a year now. I have never once used data and voice at the same time. And if I do need to, then I have an excuse to hang up so I can browse the web without someone yapping at me at the same time.
And? We have more users here that use the feature than you'd think. Also, if you need an excuse to hang up, you are bad communicator. Just say, hey you know what, I'll hang up now because of XYZ reason.
Also, This feature is the best since like Apple's ads put it, you can do stuff like order, place a reservation, check your email for an office thing, etc etc...
Many of us need the feature....
Yes, it has, barely. We'll see how Verizon fares, it's still too early to call.
Yes, Verizon's network will do fine when they allow you to just do ONE THING AT A TIME. Anyone can do fine with just one thing. Also, AT&T has had the iPhone for 4 years and has been gathering their experience since then and know how to deal with it.
Verizon only has a pitiful amount of experience on that front. Only what they hear from the news or guess at.
Fair nuff. Though of course people who don't travel abroad much won't care.
How would you know? Just because those people don't travel doesn't mean the phone won't? Ever heard of eBay or reselling an iPhone to buy the next one? A GSM model will most definitely be worth more. A CDMA model, people will dismiss it and laugh at it.
Still doesn't matter for people who don't get ATT coverage.
But it does for those of us who DO HAVE IT. And that's around 92% of all Americans. Cows don't count.
I think the better solution is what I do, not losing or breaking my stuff. But yes, that's true.
Not everyone is as perfect as you are and don't have accidents that end up with phones broken. I cna give you more examples on loosing stuff, but you get the picture from the first one.
Yes, you did, and no, it isn't (at least not important enough to mention twice IMHO).
Yes he did, and yes it is important to A LOT of people.
I have this great thing called patience that enables me to be able to wait another two weeks. Unfortunately, it seems few people have that ability these days (such as people who bought Wifi iPads and then a month later bought the 3G. Seriously? You lived without it all this time, now suddenly you can't?)
And who are you to tell people what they can or can't buy or when and where? If people want an iPhone now, they'll get the iPhone now and only AT&T has it. u jelly?
Yes, but if you're looking at a phone in the $50 range, there are tons of Android models that are much better than the 3GS that can be had.
Point is, ATT is better for some, Verizon is better for others. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Use what's best for you. Not even sure why people care what network others use.
Hardly, the 3GS is almost identical in performance to the iPhone 4. Also, the iPhone OS is so much mature than any Android OS thus far and not to mention the incredible fragmentation it has.
So, why are you responding to his points when his points are made out to expose his experience with AT&T and bash him for exposing what he wants in a phone? Why? Clearly AT&T and the the AT&T iPhone provide him with what he needs. You sound jelly, mad...
Does anyone know whether or not AT&T requires subscribers to commit to keeping tethering on their monthly plan for a certain amount of time (for example, 1 year)? Or can you just add tethering to your plan whenever you want and cancel it at any time?
Tethering is like any texting plan, you can add it, remove it whenever you want.
