Did you know its scientifically proven by study after study that people are more likely to kill innocent drivers and pedestrians, or themselves/a loved one, when they talk on the phone while they drive? Why, oh why, oh why o y o y would anyone ever drive while talking on the phone knowing this? I mean, what kind of a person does that? hehe


I like in Ft. Worth, had the iPhone for 2 years. Dozens and dozens of dropped calls. But all my friends had iPhones too, so it wasn't always clear who's was at fault. I loved that phone, and it dominated the market for a long time, but even the 4 doesn't hold a candle next to the new line of Droids.

Had the Incredible about 3 weeks now....haven't dropped a call yet and has only had to be rebooted once. That's pretty goddamn stable, so far so good.

FWIW I always use a hands free device... Oh and the reason is money, clue me in when smoking starts paying bills.

Study after study has shown that using a hands free device doesn't make a difference in the increased probability you will kill someone innocent. Clue me in when paying the bills justifies murder. You goddamn murderous bastard.

I get dropped calls all the damn time. I dont live in an insanely populated area and I dont have an iPhone. But I am on ATT's beat ass bullshit network.

Ah ok.. I only beat you by like 120 mins.. but I've only had a few dropped calls between my two iphones.. most are while I'm talking to another AT&T user.. I don't think they like to give priority to the free calls.

How many phones drop calls due to holding it on the side of the phone though? LOL at apple fail.

So far none!.. but i do notice the service go down A LOT.. I can't believe they let that shit through.. anyone do any fucking testing?

I work for an IT company if we did something like that, I don't think we'd be in business.

You talk at least double the amount of time I do then. I hate being on the phone, texting is just fine for me unless its an emergency. Probably why I dont notice more dropped calls.

Have you tried the youtube method yet to test it out to see if you can do it? That shit is hilarious. Poor poor quality testing.

Probably missed it cause they tested the thing in a fake cover like the one the apple engineer who lost his had instead of the real case.

It's hilarious they are going to have to put a plastic covering over it to stop the drop calls from grabbing the metal.

If my mom and dad lived near me, it would probably drop to 20 mins, but my mom calls me to bother me regularly.

I'm amused by the amount of shit sandwich Apple Fan bois and fan goirls are willing to eat.

Fan Boi / Fan Goirl: My latest i-Tard device doesn't work!!!

Apple: You're doing it wrong....asshole...here...buy this Apple propietary cover...that will fix it.

Fan Boi / Fan Goirl: Absolutely...look look!!! It has the i-Tard logo and EVERYTHING!!! I'd LOVE to pay for functionality that should have been there to begin with.
