Well, for me actually.

I went to the San Francisco Apple Store on Stockton Street a month or two ago, and even in the heart of downtown San Francisco, the phones would keep switching to EDGE. This confirmed rumors that AT&T’s 3G network is abysmal.

There’s no point in paying $200 for a new phone that’s plastic instead of metal, extending my contract by another year, paying an extra $10 per month for 3G service that doesn’t work and $5 per month for SMS that are included in my current plan.
