I'd swap 2 and 3, but otherwise agree with the order

The only dropped calls I've had since switching to Cingular(later bought by AT&T) later turned out to NOT be their signal. There was one spot on a highway near the local airport where I would lose my connection while talking on built-in hands-free in my vehicle. One day, I pulled over at that spot and tried calling without the hands-free and it worked perfectly with 5 bars signal strength. It turned out it was the Bluetooth signal dropping out from (radar?) interference, not the carrier signal.

AT&T is great here in Vegas. It works inside the casinos. It works in a lot of elevators. It even gives me full signal inside my house, which only Verizon is able to match. There is one area of town where I hear the signal is not as good, but I'm never in that area.

If it wasn't for the "iPhone 3GS MMS and tethering fiasco," I'd be completely happy with AT&T.
