Air Penn Net doesn’t work as well as I would like with the new 3.0 OS for the iPhone. When I tried using it last weekend in Huntsman (where there should be 0 issue getting onto Air Penn Net) every time I put my phone in sleep mode it would disconnect from the network. This wouldn’t happen at home, but it basically means with an iTouch you’d have to manually get back on to Air Penn Net and recheck your email every X minutes. At that point you might as well wait and log onto a computer when class is over.

I’ve never had a problem with AT&T coverage on campus and haven’t heard complaints from my friends with Verison or Sprint. My friend with TMobile did have trouble getting reception in his dorm room last year though.
