I love the apps, notes function, voice memos and camera. However, as a phone, it has been a real disappointment. Is it really AT&T in the SF/Bay Area? or a chip problem? I was on a Blackberry on AT&T for 18 months with very few problems. Could it be that so many people bought iPhones in the Bay Area the last eight months that we are overloading the systems? AT&T and Apple: Figure it out or I must move on to another network and another phone. After all, texting and e-mailing are great but at times you actually have to talk to someone live!
