Wow so my comment about Apple giving ATT a bad name is pretty much true. It wasn't ATT that was the primary cause of dropped calls it was the crappy radio code in the iPhone that caused the issue.

Look out Verizon...when you get the iPhone on your network you'll tick off a lot of people as the iPhone drains the cell tower of power because of its buggy code.

That link has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

This "buggy code" was fixed TWO YEARS AGO! Your claim there will be a problem for Verizon when it gets the iPhone is FUD. As usual.

“That link has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

Really ? Then riddle me this ...

The problem with the 3G was the towers were maxing out their power, resulting in dropped calls.

The software update solved the problem and somehow people were reporting extra bars.

How can this be ? A maxed out transmitter problem should show LOWER bars when solved ... LESS of a signal to each mobile - everyone plays nicely, gets just what they need and no one gets bumped.

The solution appears to have been to play with the math, make the iphone believe it is getting more signal then it really is so it doesn’t demand more from the tower. This solution avoids the problem while showing more bars then it rightly should.

The problem today as they explain it is that the iphone is showing more bars then it rightly should, and the code used is the same as used in 3G.
