Thinking about getting an Iphone 3g

I didnt have a problem with dropped calls where I live (which isnt in a major metropolitan area) prior to firmware update 2.1, and I dont have problems with it now.
As with a computers drive, if you fill the iPhones storage to completely full or nearly full, you will probably experience some problems.

Ive heard some negative press about the actual phone feature ironically. Has the call drop issue been resolved, or is that issue mainly due to your service area now?
We have two 3G iPhones and have not had any issues with dropped calls. My friend lives in an area with weak ATT reception and hell lose the signal in certain spots in his house but this can happen with any phone in a weak signal area.

Why you are thinking of buying 3G phone?
if you run a business and you need to access your emails on the go?
while talking on the phone? and while updating your website and you want to talk to your IT department? do online trading?
do you wanot make a multimedia call? (does ATT support this feature?) ive lived in Bahrain and that was one the first country to have 3G cellular network up and running around 5 years ago)
if these are not your primary usage then dont expect anything from a 3G phone as its just a 2 radio device which drains battery quick and you are okay with that too go ahead and buy iPhone 3G what i hate is people who dont understand what a 3G phone can do and what are its limitation come here or for that matter on any forum and whine whine whine till i feel like brk my leg by kicking their butt so hard

Ok...
Just like the idea of consolidating features.

If youre looking for a phone that consolidates email, web browsing, an iPod, the ability to watch video and download apps, the iPhone does a very good job. If youre heavily into MMS then youll either have to adjust to using email or select a different phone.
