If you live in a 3G coverage area, what's to lose?

They may not have the largest 3G coverage area, but it's FAST. Comparing my Blackjack and Aircard to my girlfriend's Verizon Curve before she got the 3G showed a big difference. I don't know if Blackberry just has a slow browser, but EV-DO was between EDGE and HSPA in terms of speed.

Yea but iphone 3g is very slow....bad chipset. I compared side by side with my dare and it below iphone away several times. It's an awesome phone but it just doesnt seem to work very well. Also alot of dropped calls...my sis has it and bitches alot about it

The 2G iPhone had good quality, they cheaped big time on the 3G. Plastic back, bad chipset........... But hey, if people really want a phone, they'll do what they need to do to get it.

Blackberry storm is going to be the first blackberry with EVDO REV-A so therefore the curve is just a tad bit slower.

as "cool" as the storm may be, T-Mobile will have the hit of the year with the G1. ya it may be ugly but its got nice specs (great touch screen, nice keyboard, decent camera, etc..) but the most important factor is it runs on Android. the G1 DEFINITELY will steal the Storm's Thunder (lol). oh and at&t has slow 3G speeds. everyone knows that tmobile's 3G is faster the everyone's (in the areas they have it) next verizon, alltel, sprint THEN at&t.

Are you serious? Let's try basing your info on some facts instead of just coming on and BSing.

AT&T has the fastest 3G. T-Mobile's 3G is nowhere close to any other carrier's. And the G1 isn't going to be the device of the year.

the g1 is a sidekick on steroids i think its a sweet phone if u dont mindo 2.5g service

I think the g1 is the ugliest device I've ever seen and would never pruchase it unless they put it on a better device with a better carrier.

you really think the g1 is better than the touch diamond hd thats coming out in the US soon? (as per reports that is)

to number 6 the xv6900 is a smartphone and touchscreen.....do better research next time you go to a network that can't cont to say fewest dropped calls because it's far from it. Also if you didn't want to switch carriers could have just got the stupid itouch which does all that iphone does with out having the att crap network. anyone who just leaves for a phone becuase 'it's the iphone' needs to get a life cause having that phone wont do it for you. all you guys need to get over the iphone sindrom.....it's a phone it's a network every carrier has it's good parts and bad the open network is open already if you'd ask they will tell you what is going on right now, they are working on having it so you don't need a contract and it's pretty much you use verizon network but your on your own with phone issues. They wont have information on every phone made that can do cdma......yes people phones that are cdma only will be able to be on the network to start cause oh shoocker they are cdma.

I didn't want the XV6900. I'm more satisfied with AT&T then when I was with Verizon. Faster speeds and I can actually make calls in my house!

it may have been your phone. GSM actually struggles more getting through buildings. Well thats assuming the CDMA service was great outside of your house.

i have the xv6900 and i'm absolutly satisfied with it. its an awesome phone and i have it tricked out with apps. i would rather have my phone than an i phone anyday. copy and paste is a huge advantage for using your phone for organizing and finding info.

The Storm will be better and we all know it will be better then the iphone. For does who dont know Apple first went to Verizon with the Iphone and sence they wanted to much control over everything Verizon said no and used ATT as a SECOND choise. It really does not matter because the storm will be better and because in 2009 the iphone is coming to Verizon anyway. [http://9to5mac.com/cdma-iphone-verizon-sprint ] and in closing Verizon is the best but they are expensive and they do criple most phones but they still work better then any ATT, Tmobile or definitely Sprint! Also Verizon just purchased ALLTEL that makes the coverage EVEN BETTER then it is and specially even in rural areas of the U.S.A Verizon bought Alltel for $28.1 Billion. $5 Billion for the company and $22 Bill to pay off their debts. http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-US&vid=38f6b655-6616-4f8d-9a78-bf5c2c110924 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I09TjMNoqow

Verizon fanboyism....... Typical. Before the Storm was announced, you were peddling around not knowing what to do about the iPhone, now you all act like it's a phone sent by god. And from my job I can tell you the Alltel buyout isn't going to get approved. There's been a lot of discussion on this deal the past few weeks with the financial slide and the consensus now is a no-go unless things drastically improve over the next couple days. PS I work for Alltel

YOU ARE WRONG... Verizon has not even began the first of many steps toward FCC and SEC approval for an Alltel purchase yet. It is only in the stages of advanced discussion. Also, the iPhone is not going to Verizon Wireless in 2009. The earliest any carrier in the U.S. outside of AT&T can get the iPhone is 2012. This is due to AT&T's 5-year exclusivity contract with Apple for the iPhone. Also, Apple has already anounced it has no intention of releasing a non-GSM iPhone. This means the only other carrier in the U.S. that could carry the iPhone is T-Mobile.
