We are switching from BBs to HTC EVO 4Gs and Sprint in a couple months. Better phone and much lower rates that with Verizon.
It is mindboggling that billions and billions of dollars are spent by cell phone makers who make ridiculously crappy and unusable and non-secure cell phones. Once the iPhone is available on Verizon, the other cell phone companies will whither away. Crap for the landfill. Pure Adam Smith...
I make pretty good money, but I think $30 per month for a data plan for everyone in the family is ridiculous. The funny thing is that with some phones they charge $10 for data plans. It’s like charging more for an all-you-can-eat buffet because you have a larger fork.
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
These are just happy iPhone users dissatisfied with AT&T’s crappy network service.

I have a Droid X with Verizon-are you sure? Son-in-law has Sprint; really poor coverage compared to Verizon. Wife and I travel a lot, so coverage is important. As for 4G, very little coverage area on ANY network...I’ll wait ‘til it grows some...
I got in on the pre- order. Sweet.
I have both AT&T and Verizon. I thought that AT&T was the worst until I got a (company supplied) Verizon and am now convinced that one is as crappy as the other. But lately Verizon has been somewhat worse. Just an observation as a user of both.
The ATT customers who stay will likely be rewarded with a more stable network as the excess bandwidth users go over to bog down Verizon’s network.
Got mine on pre-order; waiting for tracking # to update in FedEx to make sure when it’s to arrive.
I’ve read the ones who stay with AT&T will be rewarded with unlimited data rates on their current plans.
Coverage really depends on where you live and travel. There are some areas where Sprint coverage is not very good. but it is adequate where I live.
iPhone’s weren’t available to the entire state of Montana until a few months ago, because AT&T’s service was sporadic (limited to urban areas). That changed after AT&T bought Alltel’s network infrastructure.
Verizon’s coverage is virtually non-existent between Bismarck and Dickinson, ND.
Sprint is not available where I’m at. Sprint roams on Verizon’s network here.
hehe!
Yeah, the corollary to the above headline is that 100% of iPhone users will be upgrading to Sprint from AT&T.
Apple = walled garden
Android = open source
Android is already eclipsing Apple in smartphones
This is a repeat of the Windows/MAC wars where Apple became a niche player.
History repeats itself.
Good choice... I love mine.
