I’m a happy Android user. The SDK is free and
easy to use. There’s an app for everything I want
to do and far more than I have room to store on
the phone. iPhone was AT&T only when I wanted
a better smart phone. Droid was working on my
existing carrier. Simple choice. I won’t upgrade until
the smart phone of my choice has LTE with 3g
fallback on Verizon.
As an AT&T customer who travels more than the average consumer - I whole-heartedly agree with you.
AT&T is utterly pathetic. Major International Airports have spotty coverage. I guess there is just no room and no demand for telephone/data coverage at International Airports like Salt Lake, Balimore, Philadelphia, Minneapolis and Bush Int'l Airport in Houston.
I'll be selling my iPhone 4 when the iPhone 5 comes out in a few months and jumping back to Verizon. I never knew how poor a cell phone provider could be, until I tried AT&T. I get more dropped calls in a given week, than I got in the 13 years I was with Verizon.
