the map shows what att shows for 3g

they are only picking on att 3g service which is what the map shows, it does not show, edge/gprs or any other service just 3g. which is accurate.

att is stupid and suing verizon instead of actually building out 3g.

verizon spent a year or 1 1/2 years to bring there network to cdma rev a

What you are forgetting is that AT&T has three different data coverages 3G/EDGE/GPRS. While Verizon only has EVDO Rev-A so all their data coverage falls under "3G". Even if a area's data service is slower than then AT&T EDGE. So Verizon's ads are correct but are also misleading.

how is it even misleading?

go look at an att map where 3g is offered....

AT&T Coverage Viewer go look up 3g coverage.

the funny part is if the map is zoomed out all the way it wont show it but pick a city and zoom it out to almost nation wide, you will see its spotty at best.

LOL

More like Verizon is doing so well, and lampooning AT&T. I think their ads are accurate to a tee! AT&T is suing because they don't like the info out there.

Look, I think the iPhone is good in the right hands. Esp people who are a bit artistic like designers, musicians, etc. Most people have an iPhone to be a cool looking douche.

I don't drink the Apple Kool Aid. I think AT&T AND APPLE didnt even get the phone right until the 3GS. Between the bugs on the phone from Apple and AT&T's crap service, its annoying.

I will say AT&T customer service is VERY friendly. iPhone also boasts features that few phones get right like brilliant graphic rendering, awesome sound recording, and, some of the more useful apps and the new video feature.

Why's AT&T mad? If you doubled that map it would still suck. I was in Nashville trying to show some videos to people and kept dropping the stream in a wide open, popular part of town. Typical coverage. Verizon doesn't have these problems.

I still think the exclusivity running out, and Verizon getting a CDMA iPhone rumor isn't gonna happen lol. Maybe if 4th Gen VZ goes GSM, but in such a buggy phone, I can't imagine how much worse it would get on a new network, plus adding VZ's V Cast BS!

Honestly, I couldn't care less about AT&T's lack of 3G service in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Central PA, the Dakotas, etc... I guess I'm lucky in the sense that the only places I frequent (NYC, DC, LA) and my home town Philly are all pretty populous places with plenty of 3G coverage.

That is incorrect. That map only shows 3G for data. Voice is pretty well covered by AT&T.

I think it's misleading. My EDGE is just as fast as Verizon's 3G service. AT&T should just come out with a commercial showing the places Verizon can do simultaneous voice and data using their network.... that map would be blank with coverage.
