Apple Thoughts: iPhone Tops PC Mag Readers' Choice Awards

"Like the dude, our readers' love affair with the Apple iPhone abides, as it was the only phone brand they rated significantly better than average, making it the clear Readers' Choice with a SBA 9.0 out of 10."

An interesting note in the article says that the iPhone satisfaction actually went up from 2008 to 2009 in spite of the lower scores in coverage, sound quality and call quality. Personally I haven't had all that bad of an experience with AT&T in spite of limited coverage at my home. Granted, it is annoying in certain areas I drive through when I lose coverage but I've come to learn not to make a call when I'm going through those areas. And to be fair, most of those same areas I'd lose coverage when I was with Verizon, so most of my phone issues are a result of geography rather than coverage. The iPhone for me is more than just a cell phone, with all the applications I've come to count on and use on a daily basis, and so it seems it is the same for others in the survey.
