   The AT&T network reliability is holding me back from switching from VZ/Storm to ATT/3GS. I’d rather have a phone thats is just ok but has great coverage and data services, than a cool phone on a shanty network.

   Im loving the 3GS, After coming from a storm with very flakey firmware the only annoyance I have with the iPhone is its sub-par battery life!

   Since swapping from my first gen to the 3GS iPhone I have not had one dropped call, not one. I’m in Atlanta. My only complaint is still the battery life. When it’s idling it has a notable improvement over the 1st gen iPhone, and when you’re running it in 2G for talking it does as well, but nothing like was claimed. I would say probably 6-7 hours of talk time on the 2G network. The real problem comes from the apps. They still drain the battery much, much too fast. And even though this isn’t a part of the 3GS, I just wanted to say that the push features of 3.0 are great now that developers are finally starting to utilize them.

   I am a 3G user and cant upgrade because I was four months into my contract when the 3GS came out. It’s crazy that Apple wont even discount the 3GS for existing customers. I would even accept a partial discount and extend my contract another two years but that’s not an option with greedy ATT.

   I stood in line to get my 3gs and I love it. From the spotlight search to PANDORA RADIO (an app in the music category) its the best!

   Re: In response to Amazon’s remote deletion of 1984 and Animal Farm

   Hi there,

   Saw you’d written about the Amazon / 1984 flap, and I thought you might be interested in the petition we launched yesterday:

   http://defectivebydesign.org/amazon1984

   We have over 1400 signatures already, and signers include Lawrence Lessig, Clay Shirky, Cory Doctorow and other notable authors, librarians, and scholars.

   The petition opens:

   “We believe in a way of life based on the free exchange of ideas, in which books have and will continue to play a central role. Devices like Amazon’s are trying to determine how people will interact with books, but Amazon’s use of DRM to control and monitor users and their books constitutes a clear threat to the free exchange of ideas.”

   Please have a look, and if you support the cause or think it would be interesting to your readers, a blog post would be great!

   Thanks,

   -Holmes Wilson Free Software Foundation
