a) mind-dumbinlgy idiotic or

b) blatantly opportunistic..

I am holding my breath to see which one it turns out to be.

No one has visual voicemail, such an intuitive messaging system. BTW who is sending all this multimedia over messages? Is it really that big of a deal? anyways, down with Microsoft! Viva Apple!

I have had Verizon and Tmobile in the past, and at&t in my area runs circles around them. I can go anywhere and I have all bars with a perfect signal. I've been an at&t customer since 1996 when it was Bellsouth Mobility here and the service has always been amazing. Having the iPhone now has increased my loyalty to the company even more. My friends who have Verizon are constanly having signal issues and end up using my phone to make the call. Maybe it's the area you live in, cause here in Georgia, at&t is on top of their game.

However I am not a fan boy as such AT&T will not get any more of my money. JD, i'm with you. I like the I-phone and Apple in general.

Low battery life, crashes and slow everything. It got to the point of not showing my iPhone off to convert people because of embarrassment. Finally with the v.2.1 update it has restored my faith and I now am proud to show my iPhone off and get people over the fence to Apple.

It makes me so exciting and excited. Thanks to Apple, soon the entire world will know of my cool and eclectic musical and stylistic tastes. They will understand I am the pinnacle of culture and bow before me and Paris as we sashay by. My Genius membership will lead to me being hired as a consultant by hopelessly square old white men so that I can infuse their lame products with marketing savvy intended to educate the young and naive; those still foolish enough to believe you can be original trendsetters and click-clinging doppelgangers.

All the promises have been delivered. As an Apple supporter I had been disappointed by the lack of stability. I couldn't install new apps without bricking the phone. Restores were a regular occurrence. After the update yesterday all seems to be well in my Apple world. No crashes, fast backups, apps installing at record pace, syncing as promised with ease. I believe that's a tear in my eye. My faith has been restored. This update has done wonders for my Edge iPhone. All the promises have been delivered.
