why are people telling me conflicting things, i am so confused

<p>Correct me if I'm wrong....but the 3G refers to internet and not phone reception. So...your internet speed will be fine most everywhere on campus, but your phone coverage may not.</p>
<p>3G is just a connection. calls on the iphone can be used on the 3g connection, so technically the iphone would be the best option for north campus reception with ATT (thats if north campus has good 3g reception)</p>
<p>Good to know! I was wondering because I'm switching to ATT when I move to New Orleans....despite the early termination fee I'll get from Verizon :-)</p>
<p>Calls also work great with wifi.</p>
<p>Verizon by far has the best service on campus. Many people do not know, but verizon actually uses 3g data and is much faster than Att EDGE (but on a CDMA platform, not GSM (gsm uses a SIM card).. Att is just talking up their new network as a sales technique for the new iphone and because EDGE is so slow.</p>
<p>If you want the best service on campus, and to/from ithaca, get Verizon. However, ATT does have better phones. </p>
<p>The iphone can use wifi for internet all over campus, and that will work the fastest. I don't think any one knows if the 3g voice/data network provides better reception on north campus, my guess is not.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, if you already have att, it really isnt worth switching to verizon. It is split pretty evenly around campus between verizon/att. </p>
<p>In my opinion, forget the iphone and get a blackberry.</p>
<p>so can i use cornell wifi on my ipod touch?</p>
<p>Iphone is better than blackberry unless you are a business user (which college students are not), or maybe if you text like crazy. I can't wait to get mine, they have been out of stock, but I already ordered it and should be arriving any day at my local AT&T store.</p>
<p>Definitely agreed, iPhone for all intents purposes has worked better for me than any Blackberry before. From (brief) personal experience, AT&T worked fine.</p>
<p>A lot of kids have Blackberrys on campus b/c they very useful in keeping your life in order. plus verizon makes them really cheap with a 2 year contract. But yes the Ipod touch wifi will work with campus wireless</p>
<p>you can keep your life in order just as well if not better with an iphone because of its better web browser (for looking at google calendars and gmail, but i'm sure theres ways to synch those to the calendar and mail apps on the iphone)</p>
<p>the new blackberrys coming out in august have full html browsing, so really not any different than the iphone in that regard. also, blackberry has google maps, and gcalendar, google talk, and gmail applications that you can download onto it, so its the same as a normal computer.. and the keyboard is a lot more functional on a blackberry if you are typing a lot of emails. if you are just a casual user though, it shouldnt really matter.. its all personal preference. </p>
<p>att is fine at cornell.</p>
<p>thats true, the blackberry bold will be a lot better that previous blackberrys. its all personal preference</p>
