Turns out holding it the wrong way reduces brain cancer risk. Job’s was right after all; It was a feature not a bug!

  Holding it wrong might give you less brain cancer, but it’ll give you more finger cancer.
Smoobly

I thought it was AT&T that was notorious for dropping calls. In fact, for the year-and-a-half my jailbroken iPhone was on T-Mobile, it rarely dropped calls. Since I switched to AT&T in December (3G data is a harsh mistress), the same cannot be said.

The data is great, but the phone service sucks. Swell.
