AT&T reception?

The new Google phone won't be on Verizon though. I wish it were possible for Verizon to quickly and efficiently switch to the network that everyone else in the world uses.

As far as traveling is concerned...Verizon is 10 times better than AT&T. I fly all over the US and haven't had a dropped call in verizon is probably 1.5 years...since I got the new LG Dare.

the 3g on AT&T is faster on the iphone IMO when you are in a good 3G spot but AT&T coverage is sparse compared to Verizon. A lot of people I work with have Iphones and love them...hell I love them and want one, but only on the Verizon network.

Right now I am patiently waiting for upgrade to hopefully the new google phone, if not then the droid.

that's true. Have had no problems in any western state and none back east now that I think about it.

I purchased a new iphone 3 weeks ago and have had mixed results. In some areas that are more rural such as Evergreen, up 285 and even in Castle Pines north the coverage is spotty for 3G. I25 to Southern NM was just ok, I10 West to Tucson was ok, but not exceptional. It's a problem in poor coverage areas as the phone won't send or receive most data, so the mapping software will not work, emails won't send as they time out, and some other features don't work. It's a great phone when it works, and if you are mostly in town, you will be fine.

Evergreen Rural

Hey, I said more rural

Compared to my area, it is!

I had AT&T. They worked pretty darn good in the Springs and Denver. Out here in rural Pueblo county, nothing works except for Verizon.

Ive had an Iphone for years, great phone, not so great service. In my areas of travel they are worse around my house in Centennial, lots of dropped call especially around firestations and such. But the benefits of the phone outweigh the service for me. I can handle a few dropped calls for the versatility and simplicity of the phone. I broke one of my Iphones once and had to use my wifes back up phone (blackjack) and was so F'n confused I went that day and bought a new Iphone.

yes it will. go look at google phone by using google.... it says it is coming for verizon. you can buy it now for $529 and put in your sim card for other networks, but since verizon doesn't have a sim card you can't do that and must wait.

Stuart, a quick search before placing foot in mouth is always appreciated.

see where is says Verizon...spring 2010. I would have to think that means Verizon will have the phone this spring....

I wouldn't exactly say I put my foot in my mouth on that one. I didn't think they were making a non-sim card version. Thanks for the update.
