Switching from Verizon to AT&T

[Dave]

i have a G1 i use for work that is flawless. my verizon phone on the other hand is so glitched im going to have to take it in and try to bitch my way into a different phone of equal value.

ATT's network here is garbage and they won't let me do a bundle with iphone with my dish net/internet/home phone, otherwise I would switch. There is no 3G in my town and you can't even get service where I work and Verizon has EVDO in my town and you can get service from my desk.

I'll let you know this though, it's still in need of at least one more firmware update. The first update went a long way towards getting rid of the first release bugs, but there are a few left. For me it's not much of a problem because I know the updates will be out eventually and things will be sorted, but just understand that it's a first generation of the phone and there are still a few goofy kind of problems. They'll be fixed eventually, but they still need fixing. They're small things (onscreen keyboard hangs for a moment when switching from portrait to landscape, OS hangs randomly for about a second when going from home screen to icon screen) but they're still things that may throw you. They'll be fixed eventually through firmware release updates. The iPhone is a better multimedia phone, but the Storm is a better actual phone, which is a little more important to me than surfing the web on a better browser.

Thanks for the reply, I went through the same things with the RAZR when it first came out. It had many issues but they were solved with various releases. Obviously, not quite as important as it would be to a phone like the Storm, but I don't mind waiting when I know things are being taken care of.

I just spent some time comparing the two and the Storm actually seems like a bit of a better deal. I would get 100 bucks off with my 2 year renewal, plus 50 bucks off as rebate, that makes it much cheaper then the Iphone and I don't have to pay 80 bucks to break up with them.

iphone is the only good reason to be with ATT. Verizon blows IMO.

But whatever you do... don't get the new samsung at verizon... my bro has it and is on his 3rd one in under a month! Everything will work fine on it besides the phone rotation thing (like the iphones do) where the screen turns or flips when you turn or flip the phone.

I keep hearing about how they've done that to other people. I've been with them for over a year now and haven't noticed any charges on my bill that shouldn't be.

Yup.

I would go with any other network even if they cost more... just to stay away from the evil empire that is AT&T. And, would recommend everyone else stay away from them.

That is ESPECIALLY if you want your phone to do anything other than call people - blackberry service on ATT is a raping.... fuckers. I hate them. Hell, I couldn't even get them to cancel my service - that took three extra months.

I have verizon...Cant complain...But I've also had Sprint And T Mobile...(while still keeping my Verizon Line)

And I like Verizon the best.

I've heard ATT is Shit. But I dunno I think nowadays all companies are about the same...they have to be to stay competative
