reports of yellowing in a corner and the signal bars going all whacky (tho it has nothing to do w/ actual signal strength, so thats good).

Ever since iOS 4.0 was released I have been having a HARD time accessing iTunes/app store. If it doesn't work within the next couple days, you bet your ass I'm filing a complaint to the Attorney Generals office. I'm not paying money out of my ass for a half assed over flooded/saturated network.
Shit pisses me off and most apps are forcing you to update the firmware. Why should I when most of those apps was working fine before any updates?

Oh no, it's obviously a defect in some phones... Just hope that .001% doesn't get blown out of proportion.
Another thing I noticed was that it definitely seems to run iOS4 much better than my 3GS.. App switching is instantaneous and facebook works like it does on a desktop, the uploads are almost instant, much much much faster than the 3gs

Its an apple product. Of course it will get blown out of proportion.
I was gonna ask about that. The multitasking is cool and all, but closing an app and opening a new one seems almost as fast on my 3GS. That is if both apps are on the same page and I know where they are.
The funny thing about your attempt to troll is that you don't even have the specs correct... It has 512mb of ram, not that that arbitrary number really means anything as long as the device does what it says it will and very quickly
hoppin' on the bandwagon. Sweet!
Wireless investment plans in Illinois: spread the word!
Yesterday we unveiled our Illinois wired and wireless network investment plans for 2010, which include plans for more than 80 new cell sites and the upgrade of nearly 300 additional cell sites to 3G throughout the state.
The announcement comes on the heels of Gov. Pat Quinn's signing of the state's new modern telecommunications law designed to attract private sector investment in broadband and wireless to meet consumer demands and attract jobs across all sectors of the Illinois economy.
"Illinois has created more new jobs than any other Midwestern state this year, and we'll continue putting more people to work by encouraging new investment in the latest broadband and wireless technologies," said Governor Quinn, a long-time champion of broadband access. "Today's announcement ensures that more Illinois consumers and businesses across the state will have access to enhanced broadband technology, which is essential to expanding our 21st century economy."
The planned wireless network enhancement strategy is part of our companywide 2010 wireline and wireless capital investment, which is expected to be in the $18 billion to $19 billion range, assuming the regulatory environment remains positive, an increase of between 5 and 10 percent over 2009. This plan includes an increase of about $2 billion in capital expenditures for wireless and backhaul related to our wireless network. In 2009 we added more than 70 new cell sites in Illinois and upgraded more than 220 existing sites to 3G. We also completed a substantial upgrade of our 3G mobile broadband network in the Chicago area with the deployment of additional wireless spectrum in the 850 MHz band. More than 700 cell towers across the Chicagoland area were updated as part of the spectrum deployment. In addition, more than 40 strategically placed distributed antennas and microcell sites were upgraded to the 850 MHz spectrum in the downtown Chicago Loop to provide additional coverage.
From 2007 through 2009, total capital investment in our wireless and wireline networks was nearly $3.6 billion in Illinois, including nearly $975 million in our wireless network.
We operate more than 70 AT&T-owned retail locations in Illinois. Our products and services are also available at a number of other authorized dealers and national retail locations.

NETWORK BACKGROUND. AS WE'VE ANNOUNCED BEFORE:
• Wireless data traffic on the AT&T network has grown more than 5,000 percent over the past three years, largely attributed to today's advanced smartphones that are generating dramatically increasing volumes of network traffic.
• Despite these unprecedented increases in wireless data traffic, AT&T's network investments and upgrades have enabled us to continue to deliver the nation's fastest 3G network.
• Initiatives for 2010
o High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) 7.2 technology: We recently completed a software upgrade at 3G cell sites nationwide that prepares the nation's fastest 3G network for even faster speeds.
o More backhaul: Those faster 3G speeds are scheduled to become available this year and in 2011 on a market-by-market basis, as we combine the new HSPA 7.2 technology with our initiative to dramatically increase the number of high-speed backhaul connections to cell sites, primarily with fiber-optic connections, adding capacity from cell sites to our backbone network.
• Long Term Evolution (LTE) 4G
o We plan to begin trials of next-generation LTE mobile broadband technology this year, and to begin LTE deployment in 2011, matching industry time lines for broader availability of compelling devices and supporting network equipment.
