There is something seriously wrong in Dallas.  No, not the traffic or the rampant materialism (but there is also that…)  Lately the problem has been with the AT&T edge data network, or my iPhone, or a combination of both.  I spent part of Friday at the Apple store explaining to the “genius” on call that I can sometimes go a full day without being able to establish a connection on the Edge network, while the Wi-fi connection seems to work fine (they share the same antenna).  We were able to completely replicate the problem, so Apple suggested that I reset my phone.  After doing this at the store, amazingly the data connection worked again.  So even though I had lost all of my information on the phone, at least I had a working mail and internet connection again… And there was great rejoicing…. yea.

Until….

When I go back home, I synced my iPhone back with the trusty Macbook.  I had been warned about restoring from a backup, so instead I just re-synced my data to the phone.  And guess what?  The connection problem is back again.  Now I don’t know what is going on.  Frustrating.  My guess is that AT&T has a problem somewhere, but then again, who knows.
