As far as the phone connection part goes, I wouldn't blame that all on  
Apple.  Back when I had my first cell phone circa 2000, I had Cingular  
(now part of AT&T) as my provider.  Worst cell phone service ever.   
Couldn't get a decent signal in my workplace or most of my house on an  
old Nokia 3360 phone.  Got Verizon as soon as the 2 year contract was  
up and haven't looked back since.  Hardly ever get weak signals  
compared to Cingular.  I heard it improved when AT&T bought them out a  
few years later, but I would never take that chance again.  Besides  
the $ issue, I'll never get an iPhone until they have a decent  
selection of service providers to choose from in the US.
