The bigger problem is the AT&T network. In a Consumer Reports study, AT&T's signal ranked either last or second to last in 19 out of 20 major cities. My tests in five states bear this out. If Verizon's slogan is, "Can you hear me now?" AT&T's should be, "I'm losing you."
What other company would get such a favorable review on a product when it doesn't actually perform the main function of making phone calls?
*Update: Philadelphia's Mayor was actually waiting in line to buy one until "a 22-year-old sporting a mohawk asked him, 'How can you sit here with 200 murders in the city already?'"
