When I pulled my phone out of the box, 3G was enabled by default. I played with apps, used the internet and everything was fine. Then I got a call and the reception was terrible. I dropped 3-5 calls a day in places where I used to have full signal with my Blackjack. My whole family is on AT&T and all get excellent signal, but I toggled between 1 bar and NO SERVICE!
I went to AT&T a few days later and asked them to help me out. The guy behind the counter said I had to turn off the 3G feature. Turn off a feature if I want to make a phone call? Uh... that sucks? But low and behold, he turned it off, my signal shot from 1 bar to 5 immediately. Check out the screen shots where at 10:18am, my phone is set to EDGE how it normally is. Then at 10:19am, I turned on 3G and then have NP SERVICE! Crazy!!!
So here I have this beautiful new iPhone 3G that runs on Edge 24/7 so I can make/receive phone calls. Does this sound right? Is anyone else having issues like this? What is the point of releasing a feature that you can't use?
