Tests were done in San Francisco, California; San Jose, CA; Los Angeles, CA; Oakland, CA; and San Diego, CA and the results on 10 different iPhones were the same. It’s unclear at this early point if the results would be similar on Sprint’s and Verizon’s network, but at least on AT&T, the iPhone 5 constantly switched between 4G LTE, 4G HSPA+, 3G, and 2G EDGE connections. The tests were conducted in areas where AT&T has promoted 4G LTE coverage and the coverage is existent on Android devices.

Devices running the Android OS such as the Galaxy S III and the HTC One X did not exhibit the same behavior as the iPhone 5.

Lol well i'm sorry to hear about your incoming shipment :p

As for AT&T, even though the Android phones were able to retain 4G LTE also using AT&T, i completely agree with you that AT&T is impossible to live with. I cannot stand their inability to send a bill for the same amount month after month. I cannot stand that they can't supply an "always on" internet connection (dsl or cable) that's actually always on. I cannot stand the way they nickle and dime their customers for lame shit that's free everywhere else on the planet.

I swore them off awhile back and life has been far less stressful sense. :)
