Clearly the ATT one is better for data purposes. Maybe not so much for calling though. I also wonder what this is going to do to Sprints network once a few million new Iphone users jump on the network. I guess we will hear more from Hesse this week on Network Vision but I'm betting the network is going to take a hit.
@Riley the network is already taking a hit in my town as well as a couple other towns to the west of Chicago (just noticed this today). it may even be worse in those towns because I found myself unable to stream a song with a full signal.
