Oh I get very well why they are doing it. But would you really put up with this? AT&T has known about this issue since the first six months of the iPhone release, if by now they still don't know where calls are getting dropped, what have they been doing all this time? Well recently they have been taking Verizon to court for being honest which in the end just upped the ante and made AT&T look like whining crybabies. Their CEO talked about how it was the iPhone users own fault for actually expecting their device to work as advertised and that his customers were too stupid to know what a megabyte was. I'd argue a lot of iphone users are smarter than most others, but he likes to insult them. The single instance of AT&T wanting their own customers to work for them, on top of paying the most expensive charges in the country might not be so bad if not coupled with these other things AT&T has done or said. Also, the fact is, those areas you mention are also the only few areas AT&T has 3g, so the only place you have a provable faster network...is where in the end it sucks the most unless you get up at 3am to test it.
I hope Droid and Eris and the samsung phone on Verizon do start testing Verizon's network, competition is good and I think with the new slate of Android phones coming, especially the biggie soon to be released with the snapdragon CPU, will only make things better for mobile customers.
