I didn’t think I was the sort of guy who develops addictions. But a few hours ago, I realized that I’ve long had a monkey on my back, and it’s probably never getting off. I own a 3G iPhone, and I actually make calls with it—or rather I try to. I always start my conversations by telling the person “When the connection drops, I’ll call you back.” I just accepted the phone problems because I’m an Apple nut and love everything about the iPhone—well, except the phone part.
Since now days companies have the sole rights to sell certain phones, both matter. The service will affect the phone and the phone will affect the service.

I just got an iPhone a couple of months ago an haven't had a problem yet. Hope it stays that way! I had sprint before and the service failed more often than it worked. As the owner of a company this is unacceptable. To top it off, there customer service said there was nothing they could do about it. I think I'll stick with at&t and my iPhone, even if it starts having a couple of problems. What is the point in having a cell phone if you can only use it half the time?
