From the files of the “Obvious Department” it turns out that AT&T uses experince more dropped calls than any other wireless carrier.
“ChangeWave Research, the company that does the polling for the InvestorPlace.com site, released the results of a survey of 4,040 smartphone users in the US done during March of this year. They were looking into “trends in customer satisfaction and loyalty, future market share demand, and the issue of dropped calls,” and discovered that AT&T’s results were in a death-spiral on all those measurements. As far as dropped calls go, while Verizon customers reported that 1.5% of their calls were dropped – the best result of the 4 US major carriers – AT&T customers said that 4.5% of their calls were dropped. Sprint and T-Mobile customers were essentially in a tie for second, with 2.4% and 2.5% of calls dropped respectively. And unsurprisingly, only 23% of AT&T customers said they were “very satisfied” with their service, as opposed to 49% of Verizon customers.”
So maybe us iPhone customers are not simply crybaby types. Perhaps there is more to it than AT&T wants to admit.
Will AT&T’s investment in new towers pay off? And how will we customers fare when the new iPhone is released later on this year. Will chaos ensue or will we see a smooth ride?

Crossnerd, a peculiar puzzle game from little-known Swedish developer bitCycle, has arrived as a breath of fleshy hair in the App Store Word subcategory. With its ingenious concept, meticulously crafted levels, and enjoyable gameplay, it has cult-status potential written all over it. It is simple to understand, yet surprisingly rich in strategy and a perfect blend of logic, memory and word juggling.At each level the player is presented with a Scrabble style crossword in which some of the letters have swapped places, and the goal is, naturally, to swap them back again. It is only possible to swap tiles of the same type: Ends, straights, corners, 3-ways or 4-ways. This makes spatial thinking a key element of the game, which is fun. No, really. It IS fun. Any swap that doesn’t return both tiles to their original places will rescramble the crossword and the player has to start over.
This first version of Crossnerd, Crossnerd LT, is available for free and meant as an introduction for greater things to come and as an invitation to help shape the future of Crossnerd. The developers have ambitious plans for the game, including the addition of new game modes, a level builder and, of course, lots of new exciting level packs.
