The user experience of the much-hyped and long-awaited iPhone 3G is in a word: underwhelming
Word from the street is that 3G functionality flickers in and out of service. As a result calls and Internet connections drop without warning. Although the iPhone software is supposed to automatically re-acquire a 3G signal when it senses one, this is not an “exact science” at this juncture. The issue is not limited to the US. Users all over the world report the same symptoms. To make matters worse, AT&T is claiming “no significant issue on our end”.
The iPhone 3G reminds me of a girlfriend I had when I was 14. I’ll call her “Heather” for this article. Heather was smoking hot. She could melt gold with her smile. Like the iPhone, I LOVED showing her off to my friends (and yes, the envy was palpable). Heather was beautiful and fun, but in the end she turned out to be an unreliable companion.
