I have 5 3g bars in Shreveport everywhere I go and I drop at least 5 a day. It may be because every one of out 300,000 people has an iPhone 3g. I mean it is unbelievable how man people have this phone. It is great for Apple but our towers are on overload. The sad thing is that I am wiling to sacrifice cell service for the other features of the iphone. I am pathetic.
