Dissatisfied iPhone users tick me off with their complaining.
iPhone users rant and moan that AT&T service is terrible (which I agree, I had a dumbphone with them and it got no service ever). Yet, iPhone users ALWAYS end their rants with "When Verizon gets the iPhone, I am dumping AT&T!"
So wait a minute, you hate AT&T but you are going to stay with them for a few more years? And by the way, there is ZERO confirmation that Verizon is even going to get the iPhone, it's all rumors at this point.
It's like this: People aren't willing to part with the iPhone because they are so drunk on it's koolaid, yet when they can't make calls, receive calls, or get voicemails, they moan like children about it.
Here's a reality check: either you suck it up and cancel your plan with AT&T and move on to anot...

Agreed, What makes me even more mad is that people know how bad the iphone is for reception in the first place(even worse than most phones) and how bad the network is getting, yet they continue to sign up service to get the iphone and call in (i work for att cust relations) screaming about how they need to not pay any ETF because we promised them coverage **growls** If you want call quality why in the world would you get an iphone anyways? Its like talking through your MP3 player/laptop. If you want a phone for the actual talk aspect get a crappy flip phone with another carrier for like 30$ and stop whineing.
...
I have friends with iphones and they are SO cool! I admit it. I almost bought one. It was a weak moment. I avoid AT&T's site now.
...
So many people with iphones...Seems almost like a cult 👀 lol i will agree, they are pretty... but i already have a phone a laptop, a Nav System and an mp3 player 😛 no need to combine! AHHH but it looks so convenient!

Pay the same per month, get better reception AND be yet another sheeple with an iDevice.

Issues
1. I live in south dakota, no att service at all.
2. Have an Itouch already
3.Not considering the iphone in anyway(it just seems apealing at a distance), happy with verizon at the moment but i HATE full touch screen phones (no faith in my ability to not break them) and the droid is ugly and dude-like. Another downfall is im a tiny tiny girl, but i cannot do the small keys on the palm phones or blackberrys(nails). hense why im trapped at the EnV-touch. nice phone. but eh. Id like a smartphone at some point.
Any suggestions on what i should look out for now that we are on this subject?

I did say I wasn't suggesting iPhone + iTouch 🙂
I was more pointing out the fact that with alot of smart phones you can install apps like MyWi that turns your phone into a Wifi Hotspot.
I know there are apps out for:
WebOS http://mytether.net/
WindowsMobile http://support.wmwifirouter.com/devices/
iPhone http://www.rockyourphone.com/index.php/mywi.h tml
I've found USB Tethering apps for Android and BB (PDA Net), but neither enable Wifi Tethering, so they won't work with an iTouch... in my limited searching that is.
I've also noticed alot of apps won't work on Verizon phones due to restrictions.
For those situations, there are devices that use USB tethering to supply a physical portable router. Example:

YUP. Everything shall remain seperate for now.
Maybe when better phones come out ill think about getting something a little more advanced. Keep me updated!

It seems convenient until you realize... like most phones in general, the more you use it, the more you have to keep charging it. I like having a few seperate devices doing different things because- it spreads the load around and I have less battery charging to do. Now, when they make the kinds of advances in battery life that they're making in the phones- then they'll have something.
...
Wait a minute. If you read over the Contract: (AT&T states) WE DO NOT GUARANTEE YOU UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE OR COVERAGE. So dont complain about coverage.
...
Sorry. The iphone is just THAT cool that it will make a user stay despite all of the negatives. You ever have a friend with a wife who nags all the time and you wonder why he stays? Same thing here...
...
Since they are so drunk on the Iphone kool-aid, perhaps they should just get an Itouch and for voice go to another carrier.

Two things that tick me off about dissatisfied iPhone customers.
1. I work for an indirect agent, that ATT, in all it's wisdom, has determined that indirects cannot carry the phone. But that does not stop iphone people from coming in and complaining. All I can tell them is "Sorry" and send them to Apple.
2. I carry a Blackberry 9000 Bold. When I first got the phone, it constanly dropped calls and was always switching back and forth from 3G to Edge, the same type of complaints that we hear from iPhone customers all the time. Then a RIM sent out a software update for the Bold, and amazingly, all the problems dissapeared. I very seldom drop a call and when I am in a 3G area, it stays in 3G. It wasn't the network, it was the phone. The dif...

So... can I complain about others complaining about those who complain to much too?
Or would that cause time space malfunction?
...
With that being said... I agree that people should shut up or gtfo. I like the iPhone but not enough to put up with bad service.
Also my next phone will either be a 7 or an Android, depending on what's hot when my upgrade is available.
Apple is quickly approaching 'meh' status. Soo many people thinking differently - its getting a bit too crowded.

I know this post is stupid it's always the squeaky wheel that gets the oil...many of my friends have the iphone and love it.
...
Heh, understand that one. It's like these devices are worshipped, yet they don't seem as great to me as many other current smartphones. More expensive, less features, more trouble to repair/troubleshoot... Utter silliness just to carry a brand.
