I don't have one but my bf does. His battery always dies. He always loses his calls, and he lives in Boston. Which, AT&T says the service with the fewest dropped calls in Boston, Ma. I don't think so, I have a Verizon and 9 times out 10 he has to use my phone in Boston.  What is the point of buying a phone that does all these things BUT NEVER WORKS!!!!!!

All cell phones battery dies and calls drop when there with there other gf.<br><br>On. the subject, I think that the reason why Apple suddenly pulled the 2nd gen iPhones off the market is so they can covert those phones into 3rd gen phones. What do ya think of that conspiracy? I feel it is the 2nd gen phones ultimately gonna be the rarest and most sought after model. Why else did Apple cut the 3rd gen price in half? I'm telling you. They are the same 2nd gen phone re-wired to re-take our money from our other pockets. This is Apples mistake and eventually will lead them to death by proprietation. They should of sold their phones openly to all networks therefore skipping the whole 3rd gen mess. You know they lost a ton of moulla when the 2nd gen got easily unlocked. Look at the dynamics of it's worth on the "black market". Ebay sellers were getting rid of them for twice it's MSRP; UNLOCKED!!! This is most likely the reason why you can't purchase the 3rd gen online anymore. You must physically go to an authorized store so that you can contract up. Talk about the shift of tides! Well, I guess this is a larger view for everyone to see what happens when a company that seeks dominance in a totalitarian way; they get bit in the ass with the same greed that they have created. And still has not learned their lesson. It's going to be the developers of apples - cousin that is going to un-develop their greed. Don't hack the hackers!!! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RICKY ROSS]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 18th 2008 2:53PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
