The best iPod would have to be the iPod touch, if only because it has double the storage capacity than the iPhone.
Yes, but that iPod is limited with Wifi only.

reception in northern and northwestern part of new jersey has degraded considerably in the last 4 months. I've been with ATT for awhile, all the way back to the first gen iphone and coverage has been "OK" until now...
it is a shocking phone.
I remember when the original iPhone was announced SJ said the killer app was the
'Phone'
maybe his engineers didn't get the memo.
One of the most overated products EVER IMO.

Well my iphone works great as a phone. I just like to text more than talk. That's with every phone I've had.
iPhone is great, AT&T sucks.
+1
Around where I live and work, 5 bars will get you nothing but dropped calls and slow data. And my friends and colleagues with iPhones would agree with me.
Not a single dropped call in months since switching to Verizon (except when I'm talking to someone using an iPhone; then it's they who drop the calls).
I do love the iPhone, but hate the service attached to it. AT&T simply does not provide reliable-enough service in my 3 years of experience. I have a Blackberry Storm 2 now and I'm satisfied. I can actually rely on it as a communications device, not as an iPod touch that (sometimes) makes phone calls.
I haven't owned that many phones so I don't have a lot to compare it too but I think the iPhone is a great phone. The only times it dropped calls was when I was talking with my sister, and she has some reception issues at her place.
I've never heard complaints from friends who have iPhones either in terms of dropped calls or call quality. That being said I live in a city where the network is amazing so I'm sure most of the issues people have with calls on the iPhone is network related.

I had many cell phones all with different cell phone providers. I had the Motorola "Brick" as my 1st work phone and went from there. I had blackberries, Palms, Window Mobile, sliders, flips and the list goes on. The iPhone is my favorite of all the phones I had. I had mine since March and I still play with it like it's still new. I had a few dropped calls, no more or less than Verizon or any other provider that I had in the past. I also have Verizon for work and the bad part (or good, depending on the day haha) is my work phone doesn't work where I need it the most, in my office. It's so much fun going outside to make calls.
I think 1 reason why people look at the iPhone with a fine tooth comb is because it's so popular. Look at all the commercials on TV you see that says "we now have an app on the iPhone". From TMZ to Pizza Hut, everyone has an app for the iPhone that advertise on TV. How many phones out there have this much recognition?
It got to that point where a person has a cell phone or an iPhone. Much like Xerox, people say "I need a Xerox of this" instead of "I need a copy of this". When something is as popular as the iPhone, you will always have people trying to knock it down.
So iphone service is also crappy in UK. So maybe its not at+t after all..?
Which is why I refused to get one until several things changed..
They left O2
They added video recording
They added MMS
Mine is now on order with Orange.
The iPhone is a decent phone for me. Call quality and speaker phone are nothing to complain about on my end. I have no problem with dropped calls, sound quality, or speaker.
I've had phones with much better phone & speaker quality but the Iphone's quality works more than well enough for me.

and what point was that?
Oooo, get Mr Sarcasm. How about getting off your lazy *** and reading it yourself.
It says that iPhone users are mainly interested in the other features the iPhone has to offer and they are not primarily focused on the "Phone" aspect of it.
PCWorld survey from June of this year ranked the iPhone as 7th overall.
This was based on user submitted reviews.

As with any survey, they results are all dependent on WHAT is asked and HOW it is asked.
apple users are 'fanatical' with their answers and rarely tell the truth, like it would be a 'sleight' on their 'religion'
a guy on the hardware forums had the logic board on his Macbook replaced 4 times and he still thought Apple were great...!!
mind boggles..
I get much better performance in the same locations on o2 with ANY other handset than the iPhone.
No.. I can talk fine on my nokia while my workmate struggles to talk on her iPhone next to me. Both on o2.
Those words were uncalled for. I tried to get your point and tried to understand what you were saying, but because I didn't you went off saying "pick your battles". Instead of saying stuff like that, why don't you say your point from a different view.
Again telling people "I made my point. Choose your battles a little better." and then saying "How about getting off your lazy *** and reading it yourself." is very immature. Everything on here can be taken in different views and points, not everyone is going to get it the 1st time.
I'm sorry I didn't understand your point.
This is not a survey, this is just a useless poll on the internet which is not an indication of anything. Go and look at the satisfaction surveys from the likes of JD Power which always has iphone on top and not these polls which are being picked by iphone haters.

Yeah I'm sure all 30 or so million iphones sold were to fanboys.
I agree other handsets have better reception on the same network but it's not the worlds worst handset for reception, surely? The 3G chipsets is a pain, (and worth flipping on and off when required). What do you mean by performance - call quality? Signal shown on the handset? signal type?
