Even though the iPhone 3G sports access to the much faster 3G network (over the older EDGE network), many users are still unable to experience the faster input transfer. One obvious problem is that 3G is not available in all areas. So even with your grade new 3G phone, you may still be stuck with EDGE.

Another problem is that users seem to only be able to connect to the 3G network for a few minutes a moment before being

dropped off and switched by to the EDGE Network. Poor reception is plus a commonly reported problem. 

And it seems like AT&T is merely pointing fingers at Apple, claiming it must be the phones that are causing that dodgy reception. It is still unclear what precisely is to blame but an AT&T spokesperson is steadfast in reassuring users that the 3G network is “performing great.”
