I've been with AT&T for about 6 years now and never had an issue with them.  I just got the iPhone 3GS in June and even now, I don't notice any dropped calls or any of the other issues people seem to have.  I'm not sure how this will impact AT&T in the long run but I do think that Verizon's network will take a huge hit with all these new subscribers and their data.  Didn't Verizon just upgrade to 4G recently? So maybe it won't be as bad as I think.

It's high time the iPhone went to another carrier. Personally, I wonder how this is going to fair out for AT&T, as they're about to lose their sole product, which I believe has kept them afloat for years. Who knows, this could help AT&T loosen the burden of having so many iPhone customers on their network. Not to mention that with many [customers] are about to jump ship, this could mean AT&T might lower their price plans down, offer better services, and eventually get a better network in place.

 Is it because ATT tried to cheapout the infrastructure or is beacuse ATT was overwealmed by the sole supplier of the iPhone? I bet it was the latter and Verizon will be hammered too.

Before I had an Iphone on ATT I had a Windows phone. That phone had its problems but I never had dropped calls. Since switching to the Iphone, both 3g and now 4 I experience too frequent dropped calls. The Iphone 4 is particularly bad about this and it often  seems to relate to the light sensor on the front. Non-Iphones on my plan in the same location at the same time do not experience dropped calls. Just saying . . . . when my contract is up I think I will try the new Windows phone.

Right?! How many times have you heard 'I love my iPhone but AT&T sucks!'? How do they know it's not the iphone that sucks? I don't have a smart phone but I've had AT&T for around 5 years with a few different phones and my service has always been rock solid. Customer support is always very good when I've had to call them as well. I'm a satisfied AT&T customer.
