That's funny
There was an article / tech analysis with the iPhone 3G from AT&T Europe that
analyzed cell tower logs; they claimed it was the iPhone that dropped the
connection. I think it was on cnet or zdnet.
I switched from AT&T with iPhone to DroidX with Verizon. Suddenly I could place
calls from inside the parking garage all the way to a major cross street. With
the iPhone, I had to go 4 lights to the cross street until a call would stay
connected. 4 bars in most places, but would always drop calls.
Now, when I get dropped calls it's always because I have less than 1 bar.
The ironic thing was a week after I switched, the AT&T rep called the cell line
(business) and asked how my phone was working. I told him since I switched to
Verizon it was working fine. LOL!
I'll give the guy credit, his next question was just a smooth "how can we
prevent that for your other lines?"

Saw Lewis Black in Reno last fall and he did a 5 minute rant about AT&T,
iPhones and how AT&T will sell you a piece of HW you can put in your house to
extend their network for them... it was totally hilarious

I have an iPhone on AT&T. I have zero problems with dropped calls, or anything
else for that matter (well, excluding the fact that my house is in an area with
minimal coverage).

I like AT&T.
Over 10 years and I figure all you people that have so many issues with them
either have iPhones or something. I have an iPhone fanatic next cube over and
I'm using my phone and he's complaining about dropped calls. I had a Nokia and
now a Windows Phone. Our office BlackBerries were on ATT, then went Verizon
and have now returned to the stable service we had with ATT as Verizon after a
rather awful time on Verizon. I have noted slight differences in reception
with my various personal phones and my blackberries (both on the same ATT
network) over the years. (Yes, I have two phones, my work phone and my personal
phone - policy issue)
Have there been rough patches? Sure, the ATT / Cingular merger resulted in a
few annoying months that eventually smoothed out as they corrected tower
issues. I look forward to the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth as the
iPhones infect the Verizon network, cause it's not an Apple issue if you hold
it wrong :)

I used to feel differently when we were a CT Communications CLEC customer, but
then Windstream bought them and screwed everything up. It took well over a year
to get all 12 of our sites transitioned to a new provider (PaeTec, which in
contrast is much better). We've still got bills coming in from Windstream for
our B1 lines, largely because Windstream's Customer Service Records are such an
awful mess...

Verizon owns its customers, and they know it.
