My iPhone is great in Boston and the greater Boston area. When I went down to NYC I was getting dropped calls, lack of signal, etc... The issues seem to be location dependent, and are therefore more an issue of AT&T infrastructure and not the iPhone itself.

It's still frustrating, but it's important to realize that the issues you're having in NYC/SF/etc... are not iPhone issues, but AT&T 3G capacity issues.

On the other hand, I switched to an iPhone being a previous AT&T customer in Arizona. I have had more issues with dropped calls and unreceived calls than I had with my previous phone. In fact, people have started to call me multiple times just in case the first time I didn't answer was a fluke.

Just out of curiosity... have you tried turning off 3G?

No, it's not AT&T. My old Razr outperforms both the iPhone I (wife's) and iPhone II (son's) in terms of being able to make or receive a call with a weak-signal. I simply suspect the transceiver is not as sensitive (don't know about iPhone III, however).
