<heh>
I would advise against extrapolating the crappy way AT&T decides to
build out their network and treat their "customers" to the rest of the
civilized world.  :)

One of my favorite comments I recall seeing on the iPhone 4 antenna
issue was the fact that (most) everyone testing the early units was in
Silicon Valley, where AT&T dropping your call was pretty much a foregone
conclusion...bad antenna or not.  :)
