I have had both services (At&T and VZW). Personally I think AT&T blows every company away on phone selection, hands down. Becasue of this I swotched to AT&T after being on VZW for almost 6 years. VZW is in LAST place when it comes to cool and attractive phones. However, after having AT&T for almost 1 year, I HAD to switch back!!! The service is piss poor. I travel a lot and had HORRIBLE reception in almost every city and state I travelled to, especially New York City. I am unsatisfied with phone selection but would rather be with a provider that gives me better reception. The other negative with VZW is the price but for the service I am willing to pay it.

On a final note, why is everyone here so concerned about WiFi on a phone...especially if it is a Blackberry. You HAVE to buy a Blackberry plan with a Blackberry so WiFI would never be used anyway. This could possible be the dumbest argument on these boards. Would I rather have a phone where I have to drive somewhere with WiFI while I am out or just connect anywhere I am, especially when I am on the road. AT&T internet service did suck and was rather slow but VZW's blackberry service is 10x better than WiFI. This is from over 7 years experience betwen both carriers, not speculation.

Moral of this long post....QUIT ARGUING LIKE LITTLE SCHOOL GIRL CHILDREN ABOUT SERVICES. Everyone has a preference. If you are young and naive, you will pick AT&T for the cooler phones. If you are older and care more about reception and not dropping calls, you will pick VZW.

OK guy, you want wifi because you need choices and variety. There also are customers that life in areas that can not get 3g and they would like at least wifi because it is fast (faster the 3g). yes you have to be somewhere that offers wifi but at least you have the choice and i rather get more for my money then less, plus every new place now a days offers free wifi.

Second, yes verizon does not have the best phone selection but over the past year they have gotten allot better. Go to

It's incredible how much bickering is going on about absalutly nothing. You people act like VZW or AT&T are putting money in your pockets. The only reason I'm with AT&T is because they are the only wireless company that is Unoin. Which means that they offer thier employees better benefits and better wages. Companies like Verizon only care about making more money and not spreading the wealth. I'm a Union electrician and work and live in Jersey. As Union employee I will do my very best to support the companies that support thier employees regardless of thier service and to be honest with you AT&T is not that bad. I was with T-Mobile and my family with VZW. Now we are all with AT&T. No problems with service and I work right accross the river from Manhatten. I will sit here patiently waiting for the BOLD because I beleive that it's going to be all that and then some.

AT&T hasn't released it because of Quality issues. Orange discontinued it because of Quality issues.
