Mitch, I would blame the devices you and you company used. Chicago and the surrounding burbs, MI, TN, GA, IN, NV in 8 years of service and no problems with money to spare. Whatever major cities in the previously mentioned states I traveled to were fine on voice and data. As a matter of fact last year I convinced my BM to drop ATT for Sprint an other than stupid reps occasionally we’re all good. I pay the bill

YAWN – boring phones. I have been with Verizon for a LONG time, but about to jump. My son jumped about 3 months ago to get an iPhone. I gave him a hard time about it, but now I am going to leave. Verizon has spent so much time and money telling us about how great the network is (and locking out our GPS) that seems like AT&T’s coverage is catching up. For our area it works great. So bye bye Verizon with no iPhone and 1+ years late on the Blackberry releases!

Are you absolutely nuts Don Louie Cantone???

My company uses only Verizon and AT&T. ALL of us travel for work and Sprints coverage everywhere is so awful that we no longer use Sprint. This is a 3,000 employee company that does consulting work.

I had a Sprint for a total of four months about a year ago and most of the major metropolitan areas that I traveled to had poor service and more dropped calls I can count. I feel sorry for all of those people who are jumping ship to get the Pre, they will kick themselves in the head.

F verizon’s selection. My brother will be jumping on the iPhone train next weekend, and if it checks out ok w/ AT&T spotty service around here, then I’ll follow suit. I’m just one of Verizon’s many customers who are out of contract and riding along, wishing they’d get a decent non-WM phone; w/o hope apparently. I’ll be gone soon.

If kid comes to Sprint that money saved along with the great network, all inclusive plans, no crippled phones and a great network. GSM has great phones but the network doesn’t back it up, they need WiFi to help with data with no help on voice

@ kidd
To bad more people are switching to Verizon and leaving other networks. You will see how horrible other networks are. You will come runningback to Verizon like lots did.

What’s up with the VZW iPhone or Apple tablet?

Pricing comes from subsidizing. If they order a billion you get the phone cheaper…economics 101

Is Verizon serious? $279 for a 5 MP camera phone?! I can’t even begin to understand their reasoning.

Rival does look nice…not a bad tool for wanting to get away from the work phone and able to do some texting in a crunch. If these phones would only allow you to download Opera…

For having by far the best coverage reach throughout the nation, you would think that Verizon would put just a little more effort into their headsets. I went in to upgrade last week, and was so turned off by their selection that I’ve decided I’m going to wait for this contract to expire. THAT IS RIDICULOUS, ESPECIALLY THESE DAYS.
No consumer should ever leave their wireless company because of phone selection, not with all the amzing new phones hitting the market. STEP YOUR GAME UP VERIZON, or you’re going to see more and more people leaving to go sign a contract that doesn’t lock them in for 2 years, and doesn’t require them to use a handset that looks and feels like it was made for a text messaging tween.
Guess I just expect too much from the nation’s largest wireless company…
Shouldn’t be a problem anymore- especially after my contract expires.

Neither of these are interesting enough to get me to renew my Verizon contract. Still waiting for more Calgary info, personally. Or a Dare update, which brings the total number of people waiting for a Dare update to 3 or something.

sigh… i’m getting tired of seeing all these phones land everywhere except tmobile… soon unlimited minutes/data/texting for 70 a month wont be worth sticking around anymore….

as our friend Grrrr would obviously say, yeah were waiting for the tuh tuh tuh Tour. not even a 20 MP camera phone would satisfy Tour-Nation.
but its certainly a very decent addition to Vz’s lineup. good.
