I understand the benefit of this feature, but it’s just about the most pathetic thing I’ve ever heard. We’re supposed to be getting better, faster networks – not features to allow us to access the older slower ones.

Also, the update doesn’t show as available to me (yet).

ATT just released a software update for the Bold. I would recommend checking it out. Lots of improvements, one being that you can lock the network to use 2G instead of 3G, in crappy areas that sometimes has helped me. I have great reception in a rural part of Washington State with ATT but going out toward the coast and stuff I can see this option helping a lot.

I’m in the exact same situation. I do make quite a few more typing mistakes with the Tour on Verizon than I did with the Bold, but actually being able to complete a call successfully has been fantastic.

I still have the iPhone on AT&T, but I don’t use it for voice. It sort of feels like a waste, but the apps are so useful on iPhone — makes it hard to give up!

This is an interesting article since we use AT&T and just threw a away 2 LG Views because it has has feature that cannot be adjusted by the user you can not control the lock on the phone-all cell phone providers operate with a policy of brute strength and ignorance ignoring consumer needs I do think that T Mobile is trying and I think at 73 years old I am tired of being their guinea pig !

I know how you feel. I’m going through the same thing with the iPhone 3GS vs. Palm Pre. I’m testing both right now and really enjoying the Sprint network and a few of the features of the Pre that the iPhone doesn’t have. That said, the Pre is very slow compared to the 3GS. But it makes phone calls and the sprint data network is nice and speedy.
