And therein lies a big part of the problem. It's not so much that AT&T's network isn't any good as much as it is that iPhone users send and receive far more data than other smartphone users do. No one foresaw the load and I doubt that anyone's network in the US could handle the traffic much better.
At first I thought a WMMS (The Buzzard) app was coming to teh iPhone! :tux:
Second, I consider myself somewhat of a gadget person...but damn I hate texting! Why would I text someone when I call them or send them an email. Plus, I used to text back in the old teletype days 30-years ago. Go figure! As soon as they make a cell phone with an virtual 19-inch screen and keyboard...I'm all over it.
