No... It still drops calls randomly.

EDIT: I think it drops calls when the signal is low though, 1-2 bars.

I've noticed that on my iPhone the signal reception is not as strong as on a eg Nokia.
But dropping calls with two bars left, that ain't right.

I have not played with the 3GS much, but the speed between the 3G and 4 is incredible. My 3G also tanked after the upgrade to iOS4, but I fixed that a week before I bought the 4.

I've noticed that too, it is a bit slower but not so much that it bothers me much.
How did you solve that?

Settings -> General -> Spotlight Search -> Uncheck all, turn the phone off... All the way off. Turn back on, go back to Spotlight Search and recheck all.

The EVO 4g is android based... Not that junky windoze mobile. My computer teacher was showing me his HTC touchpro 2(maybe) and it made my 3GS look like a slow pig. Plus Sprint has 3g out here where ATT has only EDGE. I need to play with the EVO 4 to see if it is as good as they claim.

Well, I've washed a thumb drive twice now and it still works. First time I bought it after the wash cycle and I put it in a bag with silica gel. The 2nd, I didn't notice or 3 days and the shorts had been hanging to dry. Just plugged it in after a couple of weeks and it has all the data.

Crap, tattoos really do fade over time. This could get expensive.

they fade, and do they become blurry too? You know, the very fine lines, they get blurry, no?

G, if you get one now, you'll have about 18 years before you have to worry about it.

Nah, not really my thing, I am awesome as is, you know, with my rockin' body and all...

Cowgirl V was planning to have the names of her son, mom and horse tattood on the side of her fingers. Such small, fine letters are destined to blur over time I reckon.
Hopefully she won't be left with a nice blurry stain in 20 years... But hey, not my fingers...
