By the way it was shown that all smart phone suffer signal attenuation. And the iphone dropping calls is a combination of antenna location and service provider (namely AT&T) All the verizon iphones have the same signal problem, but dont drop calls!!!
In the states everyone knows verizon network is better and more stable than AT&T even before the iphone simillar situations would come about with te same model phone on bothe networks. for example i remember when i had 2 blackerries and visited chicago. My verizon bb would drop ro the lowest network but still hold calls while my at&t blackberry would stay on 3g but drop calls regardless On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 8:41 AM, Tim Schofield <[email protected]> wrote: > No, Android is just software.
