i liked that you had a blog about the gripes with iPhone and thought you started off honest and using language persons who are not techies could understand...so it seemed to be going good for your review..but you lost me after paragraph two!!! please deliver a more detailed blog about your experiences, as i believe having two in your household does let you have a very unique angle for making a judgement/criticism and so far from what ive heard you are right about the reception/call quality and the networking problems, so I am curious to hear more from you. Such as battery life...is it unlocked? etc..Have you tried it while roaming yet? With Nokia roaming works well manually or automatic setting..and you can get emails/SMS/MMS messages while roaming as well.

Here in Japan, we are experiencing the same issues with the iPhone as far as my friends who have a iPhone have shared.This seems ludicrous to me because this is a country where 3G has lived for over four years and while the iPhone is also sold exclusively by one company here they are not in anyway related to AT&T so what gives with these glitches!!? Must be the software and/or hardware of the phone itself.

I am researching the iphone because i am comparing it to the NokiaN95. I am in the market to upgrade from my old Nokia N702K (which may have a different model number in the states). I have had this phone for over 3 years and am satisfied with all the functions it delivers. I have dropped it and stepped on it and besides some early software trouble, which my cell provider kindly fixed for free, i have never had any problems since. I love the camera, which offers great resolution even shooting from an airplane! I have currently over 300 pics on my phone which print as regular sized pictures not the itsy bitsy sizes other phones offer. I can make videos and add music to them. I can make videos using the pictures as well as shoot video. I can record my voice and music. I can download games and music. I can surf the net although it takes about 40 seconds to a minute sometimes to load a page. I can send messages to email addresses. All of this way before blackberry or iPhone came on the scene. I trust the technology Nokia uses. And the security features are good and they work. I am assuming the new Nokia's offer that and more!

I am more into multimedia features for phones and the mp3/itouch features are a bonus but nokia offers the same capabilities plus video editing without having to download extra applications!

i would love to hear from you on which phone I should choose. And by the way do you understand why if the iPhone is better it costs 300 dollars less than the Nokia N95?

I am also a two iPhone house hold. My lovely wifes phone simply does not always ring. On numerous occasions she will suddenly be notified that a voicemail has arrived, yet there was no call. We check the ringer and it's set correctly. So, sitting enxt to her, I'll call, phone does not ring. Every time, we look at each other, I call again and the phone rings.

Networks are different all over the country and I blame this on AT&T. Verizon is the best in Southern Illinois. I'm also greatly disappointed that I'm paying for 3G service which is not installed for over 100 miles. Why and I punished because I choose to live in a rural area?

When we got our phones, three actually, a plain jane "free" phone for parents, we transferred our previous numbers. AT&T changed us for our two iPhone and again for our two transferred numbers because they somehow thought those were two more phones. We had to get that bill amended.

We went to Japan for a few weeks and we purchased the 20 MB of international data roaming for an additional (I think ) $25.00/mo Guess what? AT&T billed us for EACH kilobyte of data we used and the bill on our return was over a thousand dollars. We did NOT go over our limit. We were well under using just about 12 mb. I've called multiple times to get those charges reversed and there is a note in the file showing that the charges are to be removed from the bill but no one at AT&T seems to have the capability to do so. We returned in early October, checked the bill online and I've been asking them to fix this ever since. It's the middle of december... They've taken to calling me at work about the past due balance.

I'm ready to send the damn things back because of AT&T.

But we both absolutely love the phones. Call connection quality, yes, is little lacking from our LG Verizon phone but we both nearly always use the speaker option of the iPhone. I love that. It often seems as if the call is not full-duplex. battery life is not a problem unless you use the heck out of your phone. Sometimes my wife calls all of the cub scout parents (7-14 calls, each 3-15 minutes yaking) and that takes a toll but I think it would most any phone. The iPhotos, apps and maps are wonderful. We are even happy with the camera. (it's not used as out primary camera, duh. It's a cell phone cam, not an SLR.)

Apple, please drop AT&T so we can switch to Verizon. They are wonderful in this region.
