You're obviously not using an iPhone, or at least as it was intended to be used.
I've been using one for the last 3.5 years (I was a beta tester for the original as well), and I have not had a single dropped call. Not a single dropped call.
I think all these rumors of dropped calls were started by paid Verizon employees. I don't see ANY evidence for it.
Your either 1 lying 2 never used an iphone in 3.5 years or 3 stay out in BFE where all of 6 people live so you don't have to worry about network congestion. I bet 95% of the people on this board who have an iphone experienced dropped calls it is just that common with AT&T service.
SNL is not telling the truth. They are fabricating lies which were paid for by Verizon and T-mobile. If we don't fight against the misinformation and lies, when will it end??
I haven't had any calls dropped, but the network is suspect at times. I work in San Fran and two weeks ago the whole city was shutdown with no signal. On the train out of SF the signal is bad until we get about 20 min outside of SF.
The SNL skit is funny, the truth hurts.
Hopefully Apple is taking note and tired of AT&T making their product look bad, and will also get on Verizon next year.

I spend a good chunk of my iPhone-using time while on business in Manhattan, and I use data and calls heavily there. No problems to report at all. It's what I love about Apple: ceaselessly reliable service!

ROTFLMAO!! I have been using iPhone since the first day it came out. The first one worked well. The last 2 models using 3 g consistently drop calls because of almost totally missing signal inside many bulidings thanks to the foolish use of 1900 Mhz. Just yesterday I was standing outside Frys in Southern Cal with 5 bars. Walked inside and dropped call almost immediately. Signal level was 0 bars. I find it VERY dificult to believe you have no problems. Unless you are staying in one place almost all the time within a few thousand feet of a cell tower.
And by the way Iam a communications engineer with 23 years experience who has never worked for Verizon.

Meh, AT&T is a ton better than Verizon. AT&T has the world's largest, fastest, most reliable network in the world. I don't know why anyone would want to change their service to one of the worst networks in the world: Verizon.

I've used all generations of the iPhone, with the 3gs being the best of all. PS: it's hard to be better than perfect, but somehow the 3gs manages to improve on the 3g version.

i'm in midtown and the west side depending on the day and around 10am slacker/pandora start to get really slow and time out and that's when the dropped calls start. i've had dropped calls walking on 8th ave in the 30's

don't be surprised if no one believes you, your other remarks are plain nonsense:

I suppose you would expect to receive 5 bars if you put the phone in a lead box?
I don't think anyone would be right in complaining that the iPhone does not receive signal in a Faraday cage.
Unfortunately, this very sad "joker" does not know that it's not the iPHONE that is the problem - it is the networks. In other countries, with proper infrastructure, there are no problems. It is a fact that people making halve-baked remarks like this, for cheap laughs, only prove their ignorance.
so why is it that everyone else on AT&T with a non-iphone phone isn't complaining? my inlaws went to AT&T in June from VZW and have cheapo phones and they never complain. out of the family plan minutes, they use most of them and have never said anything about dropped calls
in the iphone 3G there were documented issues with the 3G radio and the antenna and I bet it's the same with the 3GS

Except for Chuck Norris... his iPhone gets 11 bars in a Faraday cage.
But seriously, tell us how your iPhone has managed to NOT drop calls and such? Where do you make the majority of your calls? What time? Weather conditions? It'd help others if you have such a perfect track record.

That was a rumor started by a disgruntled AT&T employee, with no basis in facts or reality. It's been discredited long ago. People need to stop spreading this false rumor around.

i only see one person spreading false rumours around today, a certain "g3pro"
g3pro certainly isn't disgruntled, i'd say he's high.

there was a documented issue with the infineon chip in the 3G and a few areas including Chicago. it was fixed in 2.1 or 2.2, forgot which one
there are also some technical blogs out there that say the way the iphone's antenna is designed results in worse reception than with other phones

Those phones are not using 3G so thjey should work much better.
Maybe it is a 3G issue. I have used my 1st gen since it came out and I honestly cannot remember dropping a call or even not having a signal for that matter. AT&T has always been helpful and polite as far as the customer service is concerned as well.
I understand that many users have a lot of issues with AT&T, I chalk it up to a hypochondriasis type disorder, someone else has issues with their service then suddenly they do to.
