I’ve been testing this issue around The City and from what I can tell, my 3G might be busted. Not sure why, but it just cant’ receive any signal.

So, on Tuesday, I head to the Apple Store on Chestnut to give them a demo of my woes.

Other than that, I love this darn thing. Use it constantly.

And yeah – this definitely isn’t a “fix”. It’s a temporary workaround at best.
