Dead Zone Doldrums Test Skills of iPhone Customers
By PAUL BOUTIN
Owners of iPhones know that their love for Steve Jobs’s touch-screen marvel comes at a price. The iPhone’s cellular coverage, provided exclusively by AT&T Wireless, is notoriously spotty. In some parts of New York and San Francisco, it’s impossible to connect.
If you go for a dim sum lunch at Yank Sing restaurant on the edge of the financial district in San Francisco, you are likely to miss calls from the office. Some owners can’t use their iPhones in their own homes. Even...

Where in DFW? I would love to help you with your new phone.
Home in Lewisville, Work in Grapevine but I already switched my service to Sprint. Sorry but I'm already done with my switch. Maybe next time. 😛
...
I wasn't aware Sprint had a Droid. 🙂 I own two stores close to you. One in Euless and one in Flower Mound.
Good luck with your phone and I hope to help in the future.

Where in Flower Mound? Is your Euless Store close to GameStop Corporate (Point of reference/landmarks: SH-121 just after the fork split for 360. Exit @ Hall Johnson)? I went to an Authorized Retailer of Sprint in Colleyville to get my phones as that is the store they were associated with.
...
I own the store at Glade / 121 in Euless and at 2499 and 1171 in Flower Mound.

If your 2499 & 1171 Flower Mound location is what I think it is, then I've been to your store. I transferred my phone book contacts from both of my at&t phones (both Samsung Eternity) to both of my HTC Hero phones. Does this ring a bell?
...
I don't recall but I am not always at one particular store. I am sure someone would remember transfering contacts for non-Verizon phones.

Actually never mind. I mistakenly confused your store for the Sprint Store that is located probably just around the corner from you. They are located on the same side of the 1171 as the Gas Station on the Northeast Corner of the 2499 and 1171 Intersection. sorry, my bad.

No problem. I know that store as well. Claycomm Wireless I believe.
No, it's the United Cellular Store.
