For the people that are concerned about reception and dropped calls-
Since AT&T is acquiring T-mobile, wouldn't they also be acquiring their cell towers and other "infrastructure"? IIRC Cingular towers became AT&T towers during that takeover.

Yes. That's why they are buying them. I'm excited. I've been an AT&T customer for a long time and was Cingular before that. AT&T isn't as bad as hyped. My iPhone works well in NYC everytime I go, and my NYC friends had no complaints. I have dropped calls in very dependable areas in cities (ie. at cell phone tower edges.) I hit the same area in MD/DC or PHX and I drop a call every single time. Who cares? I know it's coming. For me, AT&T offers the fastest data rates and internet coverage for the iPhone. I didn't switch to the Verizon iPhone for that reason since I use my iPhone for data more than talk. Yay for better infrastructure from this merger. I'm not going anywhere anyway.
