Why in the **** would you want to own a inferor, poorly designed, pile of crap like the i-phone in the first place. Switch to verizon now, and get a superior built, more stable OS like android in the form of the HTC incredible.

iOS = Teh suck!
Android = unlocked, full use, open OS

Stoked on this. I have a 2-yr old 3g and my contract expires this month. There are two ways to look at this. One, ATT will lose lots of customers, therefore putting less strain on the network which could lead to better service, less dropped calls. Second, Verizon knows this and will surely have some kind of promotion going to steal ATT customers.

Competition is good and the customers will have more options.

What you said is true...but what a lot of people don't know is they amount of data phones At&T and Verizon have. Verizon has about 15 million people using a data divice, as for at&t they have 67 million users on smart phones. What it comes down to is that if verizon had the abount of data traffic that at&t has the phones would just not work. And with verizon making the switch to LTE about 90 million of the custyomers they have will have to get a new phone people the phones they have out right now will not work. Who will pay for the new phones? Verizon! thats going to really hurt them when you have to give out 90 million free phones to customers cause the old phones will no longer be working.

Who the **** cares about personal consumer use when I have 2 exchange servers of my own, and sync not only files, but can upload powerpoint TO MY PHONE and then display off it on a projector. (somthing the i-phone can't do).

The one thing you can say about iOS is its very stable. Never heard of problems plaguing the iphone with random rebooting like the newest droid. I agree other things are lame about it, but droid being unlocked full use open =potentially way less secure. Also by picking up the phone you can clearly tell the build quality is much nicer on the iphone. Similar to many pc laptops vs. apples.

Now is all that worth dealing with ATT customer service, being forced into iTunes and signing up with a credit card (check your pc itunes always running a .exe) ****ty contracts, ****ty prices and a fairly ****ty network. Can't even get google maps traffic in rush hr in SJ/SF?

Hell no

Which Droid did you decide on? All three are pretty decent, though I couldn't really justify the additional cost for the D2 Global or the Pro.

Got the Pro.

And it was actually cheaper by like $20 haha

Im really liking it so far, but the battery life isnt too great. I got the "task killer" app but still seems to drain quick.

The next meet I see you at all have lots of questions for you haha

A$$holes Thieves & Tricksters makes money because they don't spend any on actually covering all the subscribers. I'm thinking that Sonoma County residents should simply file a class action lawsuit against this Fortune 500 company, because at least 30% of the residents in this county don't get coverage - when they advertise that they cover 97% of the population of the United States.

Here, just north of the Bay Area, they don't cover more than 70%.

They SUCK!! - I can hardly wait for Verizon to get the iPhone, because I'm NOT a Microsoft fanboi who needs to sync to Exchange servers and download crap that I forgot in the office - or whatever .000000001% of the cell phone users use that crap for...

Cool! As long as you are happy dude. All three phones, including the D2G are the same internally with the exception of accessories. Last I heard Android Task Killer doesn't work for Froyo. I could be wrong. Froyo already kills task when they aren't being used. Best thing to increase performance and battery life is to install a ROM, like Fission! Don't know if there is full support for the Pro, but imagine it should be available soon.

Sounds like a good phone.

I gotta say though, with me and my whole family being AT&T customers and all of us having iPhones, I have never really had a problem with AT&T.

I still kinda miss the days when I had my jail broken Sony Ericsson that would last for weeks between charges.
