This can be seen especially in the last 6 months. So I take issue with your statement, "Yet here in the United States, we are subject to being confined to AT&T and their TERRIBLE SERVICE, connections, and broken 3G coverage."

In recent tests AT&T's 3G data service routinely outperforms any other carrier in terms of speed. Often clocking speeds at greater than 2X Verizon. In addition, their recently released microcell offer is a very slick solution for those who have coverage issues in their home. Unlike similar Sprint or Verizon offers, the AT&T Microcell delivers both voice and data via 3G with a simple hookup to a broadband connection in the home.

So when you look at the facts and refrain from listening to the whiners from last year, AT&T has great service and continues to plow more dollars into their network infrastructure than any other carrier.

I am delighted with their service and would not consider switching to another carrier of the iPhone even if they gave the phone to me.

1. A company that will pay you $400 for every phone you sell (plus another $200 from the user).

or

2. A company that will pay you $0 for each phone. (And you'll sell very few if you try to get the entire $600 from the user.)

(Remember… when AT&T and Apple signed their agreement… the iPhone was buggy, untested, unheard of, unproven, and unknown.)
