I’m not so sure I agree.

Orange have pulled the Bold here (http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/10/orange-pulling-bolds-to-fix-software-issues-atandt-smiles/) and I have had a Bold for six months and have had no end of problems with it resetting in the middle of calls. Although I am happy to admit that mine was an early pre-production model.

So maybe AT&T are the innocent party? After all the do have the good judgement to sponsor the worlds greatest F1 team!

Yeah, I heard about the Orange thing just after I posted this article. I know that there were some problems with the early versions, but apparently the latest OS versions are pretty stable. (Have you tried upgrading the OS?) Serves you right for getting your hands on a pre-production version. Git. I still hold out high hopes for the device, but have to admit that if the Javelin comes out first I may well just go for that. Bold or not, I still stand by my original premise that AT&T suck ass, though. Although that would be ‘arse’ for you, I guess…

So, I was reading your post, and I don’t disagree with a lot of it. I worked for Cingular Wireless/ AT&T Mobility during the first iPhone launch and for the course of about a year doing sales for them in a retail location. Their 3G network is pretty terrible for the most part. Dropped calls, drains batter life, etc. a big reason the original iPhone and RIM did not make devices on that network until now. If I had a customer who HAD to have long battery life and reliable service with a PDA it was a blackberry or nothing.. I blame AT&T for this, as I’m sure it’s their fault. One thing thought you mentioned that AT&T was in the process of upgrading their 3G network until they took over Cingular… What 3G Network and what cell phone company are you speaking of, to my understanding SBC purchased AT&T and they switched the name to AT&T because of global recognition. AT&T wireless which was was a completely different company then AT&T or Cingular was purchased by SBC/Cingular a LONG time ago and had been part of Cingular. Their crappy 3G network has nothing to do with the merger outside of a lot of focus on selling more “parent” or residential products like U-Verse. But for the most part I agree, AT&T’s 3G network is pretty crappy, and a lot smaller then Verizon’s.

It was applying the latest OS that fianlly bricked my Bold – now it is just a very attractive paperweight until RIM swap it out for me. It is a slick device though and a true iPhone rival.
