Sprint's coverage is all that great here either, especially in the mountains where US Cellular and Verizon rule.

Oh and hasn't anyone else noticed AT&T's strange new found love of the Windows phones? They must have 10 models by now...

forced meme is forced

I hope Verizon does get the iPhone.

I've never had trouble with the network, but I'll be glad to see the bitching to stop. Verizon's network will become overloaded from everyone jumping ship and they will suffer the same network issues ATT did when they first launched the iPhone.

Yeah, good luck with that.

you know, this is really a case of too little to late. with motorola, and htc locked in a war to outdo each other and samsung nipping at their heels apple is going to have a helluva time trying to stay relevant.

or would if they were any other fucking company.

could probably successfuly market a rock if jobs put the fucking logo on it

hmmmm.... maybe but considering the success of the droid phones without a "system overload" I#m not sure that you are right, we'll see. Besides, I'm on US Cellular so its a win win for me as I'll get to

either way!

The problem with that is Verizon has more customers and has had to deal with it due to droids and blackberries, they focused on the network instead of phones which gave them a much more robust network. A lot of AT&T's issues were from the phone itself as well, as demonstrated by better reception from the iphone 4. I doubt droid users will experience any such issues, where the iphone may still suffer it's issues because of the new antennae radio design. Although the CDMA change could throw a curve ball and actually improve it, give it more reliability.

One thing about cdma, its got fantastic penetration. I'm often still able to move data underground on the subway platform. Much to the amazement of gsm users

Damn I'm glad I'm not into phones.
I think I used 5 minutes tops last month.

Verizon is doing something big. They took away the new every two plan and they took away the one year upgrade plan for people who have over $50 voice plans. They made it much more expensive to upgrade. They are making sure that their current customers can't buy new phones. This signals to me that they are getting the iphone and they want them available to new customers instead of people who are under contract.

Which is BS btw.

It exists. And it looks like it has LTE too. EDIT: No LTE
