We can talk about the iPhone 4 in a moment. Thanks to Gizmodo, we have a good idea of what the next generation iPhone will look like as a physical and functional device. What isn't answered is the question to my number one issue with the iPhone: It's not really a good phone.
Hooray! AT&T has announced upgrades to its 3G network to HSPA 7.2 in Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Miami. According to their press release, HSPA 7.2 can support 7.2 Mbps. Of course, this in itself doesn't help my 3G (no "S") iPhone. The important part of the announcement comes several paragraphs down:
The New York Times reports Customers Angered as iPhones Overload AT&T. Really? Actually, it's not all that bad here in Chicago, but when a 3G cell gets saturated, data speeds drop to nothing. My big gripe is that voice mail often loses touch with the phone. I get no indication of a failed call or voice mail until I reboot my phone and it suddenly discovers 4 messages.
