Is there even a single other country where the iPhone has the problems it does on AT&T? I've been using my 3G on Rogers here in Canada since it was released. I've never seen a dropped call and Rogers' network is consistently faster than the phone.

I've had exactly the same experience over here (Toronto, Canada, and also on Rogers' 3G network).

I can't remember having ever dropped a call on my iPhone 3G and the network is absolutely rock solid, and very very fast (using the Xtreme Labs speed test app, for example).

The logic of this article in compelling at first but doesn't stand up to evidence that the iPhone is quite good outside of AT&T.

I'm on Fido (Rogers 3G Network) and my experience is the same. I've never had a dropped call, and the phone is almost always fast.

I've also used it in Montreal with similar experiences. So either the Canadian 3G networks are especially good, or AT&T's network is crap.

On Rogers in downtown Vancouver on an iPhone 3GS and I've never had a dropped call. Data is fast, no issues. It's AT&T, not the iPhone.
Everyone I know on T-Mobile with their iPhones loves it (They've never seen 3g, but TMo's edge is quite a bit better than AT&Ts)
