    I've been using mine since monday morning without a problem, every time I use it I hate my old bb storm2 even more. i'm thinking about making it a target rather than selling it...

    From my experience this information is false.

    I guess what I am saying is I am willing to use a slower network (in some areas) rather than have no service at all with at&t.
    I don't travel anywhere where ATT does not have coverage, so I'll stick with my ATT iPhone.

    As for " better coverage " from Verizon ............

    I've traveled the country .. coast to coast.. with every version of the iPhone ( yes I'm that much of an Apple nerd)

    Only time my iPhone ( on AT&T) didn't work ... neither did anyone else's phones ( T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint)

    the signal thing is over rated.

    as for the "death grip" I've not had too many problems with my iPhone 4. maybe a few .. but in places that get crap signal anyways.

    It' all in what works for you. for me personally.. not being able to do data and phone at the same time is a deal breaker ( my original iPhone was like this) I'd miss calls ( they would go to v-mail) while I was surfing the web. and once you've been able to look something up while talking on the phone to get a " save the day" answer... you'll never go back LOL .

    I work in the circled area, the dark blue(or lack there of) is at&t 3g, the red in map 2 is verizon 3g. looks like at&t sucks where I spend my day,(already knew that because I have an ipad with 3g) unless you like dial up speeds that is. and to sweeten the pot, my employer has an account with verizon so I get 17% off my personal account

    I too have travel most of the US and noticed that in the cities the coverage is about equal, still notice more dropped calls from buddies with AT&T. The big difference is outside the city iv seen AT&T have to service all day with verizon having 3g all day. That being said I would wait till a 4G (service) phone comes out those speeds are so fast and you can get voice and data at the same time

    OK, So I take it you are an android fan.
    The actual Phone or OS?
    Version?
    Which Platform do you prefer?

    Saying "Droid is better" is pretty vague.
    There are so many different configurations on so many platforms with so many different phone manufacturers it isn't funny.

    Sadly that is a switching/frequency technology that is pretty proprietary at this point.
    We looked into it for a military application and it was pretty much a NO.
