why would apple do that, at&t's network is by far the worst
stop it. its no worse than any other provider out there. everyone gets dropped calls some time or another...and depending on area--even more.
this best network argument has been going on since the inception of the cell phone. wonder why?
because Cellular One/AT&T has sucked since then?

Indeed it is somewhat plausible... (http://www.ozcarguide.com/technology/cellphone-pda/2741-sprint-iphone-4g)

If by "recently" you mean in the last few years, then yes.
The biggest barrier to the iPhone expanding to Verizon/Sprint from AT&T is the major difference in GSM and CDMA technology. CDMA phones are basically held hostage by Qualcomm and are different from GSM and more complicated. Also, CDMA is used basically nowhere else in the world. That said Verizon has a huge subscriber base that Apple covets and a much more reliable voice network. Sprint is a much smaller fish but would allow Apple to sort of "pilot" the CDMA iPhone with 4G speeds and a much smaller subscriber base. That said Verizon brass is not usually ok with Sprint getting any shared technology first, and rumor has it that Apple is looking much further out than this Summer for an intro. Last I heard late Fall is an optimistic target.
<insert witty comment, to completely shtein on this thread and derail it, here>
are you 8?
no, but stop making fun of my thread or Im telling.
I've had Nextel, AT&T and T-Mobile in the past and have had Verizon for the past 2 years. I can 10000% tell you that T-Mobile is exponentially worse than anything else out there. I called and complained so much about my service that I was let out of my contract - without penalty - only about 6 months into a 2 year contract. They finally understood how bad my service was when my phone would cut out while on the line with their support team. AT&T is also pretty putrid. My Verizon plan is up next week but their service has been so damn good that I won't even consider the iPhone and AT&T and I love the farging thing. A bunch of my buddies have them and they're fun as shtein. But service > cool phone and Verizon has them all beat in that department.
Verizon last i saw was close to a deal with Apple, but the droid is holding me over for the next 2 years
I ask the stupid service people everytime I walk into Verizon when they are getting the iPhone. I had a manager tell me last week that they're not getting it and to not buy into anything I read. Just an FWIW.

apparently i was mistaken then. was probably something ipad related and referring to how the 3G versions will only be available from at&t.
I must be the only one who doesn't have any problems with AT&T. Yet all the people I know who use Verizon, even my friend who worked for them for a year or so, bitches about the service.

i've got minimal complaints but it's nothing that's going to get noticably better if i switch providers. obviously with cell phones, you're going to drop calls and you're going to the occasional dead zone where your phone just doesn't want to work regardless of service provider or phone manufacturer and that's pretty much where i'm at with at&t. since switching over from sprint though, i can say without a doubt that my service has been much improved.
