For those of us who live in the city
Wednesday, January 12, 2011 at 12:05PM And like, need and enjoy our technology, we all have an iphone.....However, YOU CAN'T MAKE PHONE CALLS ! On the 'phone'!!! That's because AT&T, to put it mildly, SUCKS. Especially in the city. I actually have better reception taking a drive to northern Ca, driving up lonely hi way 99 than in my own LIVING ROOM!! I have better reception at my sister's little house sitting in the Sierras than I do sitting in downtown San Francisco or Los Angeles! I don't know about New York, but sources have told me its even worse there.
I have 789 pictures on my iphone, many of them quite nice. Its fun to scroll through them when I have nothing to do for the next hour. I have a full gig or more of music, 10 apps, a fine compass, and Google maps. I have a virtual piano on it and I can see the weather in 9 cities, more if I chose. There's only one fly in the ointment in my, uhhh, 'phone'. I can't make or take a call. Texting is almost as difficult. That is unless i'm sitting directly under a cell tower, or standing in line at the AT&T store waiting to bitch them out. Every one i'v been in has PERFECT service. Amazing.
However, like the calvary finally showing up over the hill, help is on the way!!! Verizon has just secured the iphone, the evil empire's hold is finally broken and like hoards pouring forth from newly liberated gulags, you will soon, to para-phrase Ross Perot, hear a great sucking sound-from AT&T to Verizon.
In the spirit of the celebration, I have included John Stewart's comment on this very subject. I think he puts it better than I do. Check it out!
