The phone service is what sucks. It drops calls on me infinitely more than Verizon ever did (really, I don't think I had one dropped call on Verizon in LA). It didn't help that I started with a defective SIM card, but I've also dropped calls or otherwise had the phone not work at random times (and with the phone showing I have coverage) since I've had the new SIM card.
That was a lot of parentheticals but I am not sorry.

I've heard that in crowded markets the 3G network drops calls very frequently. Sounded odd 'til it happened to me last week.
So, if you turn off 3G your calls get dropped less, but your data rates drop to the Edge network. In other words, you lose the reason you upgraded from the old iPhone.
I have no idea why Apple hasn't worked with ATT to fix this, but there it is.
