“One thing is pretty evident regardless, and that is that carriers do not want devices with certain native capabilities on their 4G networks at present. That will no doubt change in the future, but that future is not yet here.”

Not to mention that the only "4G" network currently available for cell phones is Sprint. The "4G" in the iPhone is not a 4G network, just the 4th generation of the device. They're still on the same old junk AT&T 3G network.

Sprint is rolling out a 4G network right now, as is Verizon (who has promised to provide full 4G coverage - equal to their current and class-leading 3G coverage - by 2013). AT&T is thinking about something named 4G, but no plans until 2011 at the earliest.

I'm sure the new iPhone label of 4G wasn't by accident...;)

I was with Verizon for the last 6 years. I live in the hills [Hollywood] and had a lot of dropped calls. It was annoying but I still like Verizon.

I did stand in line for the iPhone 4 and reluctantly gave up Verizon although I have had no dropped calls with AT*T although I am expecting them.

I also have the 3G iPad with AT&T’s unlimited plan which they pulled immediately. So far, I have had GREAT reception, although i attribute that to being in a big city.
