ATTENTION AT&T CUSTOMERS: PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT! First of all, I'm all for a little friendly debate. I don't think I will ever be able to change people's minds. I do believe that there is a truth out there that most people are unaware of. For instance, we have all seen the commercial where At&t claims to have the best coverage. We have not all seen the fine print that says "based on global coverage". Now, statistics say that 80% of Americans will never travel globally. So to me, the message that At&t is putting out there, is kind of misleading. I mean, there's a reason At&t was required to include that in the fine print. Why? Because they don't have the best coverage where 80% spend their whole life! I could be wrong. Another example, "the fewest dropped calls". The only thing wrong with that statement, again only in my opinion, is the fact that in all surveys that i've read from JDPower to ACSI, Verizon Wireless ranked the highest. It appears to be that At&t is not exactly what it advertises itself to be. Have fun with that Aveo powered service...! Go VZW!!!

Did you seriously consider that "phonesreview" site to be your official source??? All of these sites are entirely subjective and biased towards one carrier or the other and the only trend I have seen this far is that everyone is bound and determined to make any phone that comes along better than the iPhone. The truth is this, AT&T picked up over 2 million customers from other carriers because of the iPhone, half of those were Verizon, and probably around 30% of the Sprint Instincts that were sold have been returned when customers switched to AT&T to buy the iPhone because every one of them that has owned both knows which is better. The G1 (T-Mobile) is a piece of trash as far as hardware is concerned and the software is experimental and the yet to come Storm (Verizon) and Thunder (AT&T) from RIM still fall short as far as user friendliness goes.

They make the switch for the phone, not the network, bottom line. They sold their souls to bring the iphone to their network. Go read some surveys based from JDpower, a widely respected source, and you will see AT&T is ranked consistently at the bottom in overall service. http://www.jdpower.com/telecom/articles/2008-Wireless-Call-Quality-Volume-2 http://www.jdpower.com/Telecom/ratings/wireless-service-ratings-(volume-1) 22,000 customers took these surveys. Now, who are we really going to believe? Stick to Guitar Hero buddy.

OMG all you haters need to get a life. this atricle is based on facts.... not opinion... the iphone is the shizznit! i have it and i love it. no dropped calls, fast internet, i used to have verizon a few months ago so i'm comparing the 2. the things this phone can do are endless... the app store makes the phone so versitile. i've never once paid for an application and my phone does more than any phone verizon has or will ever come out with. verizon will cripple any phone they get with their horrible UI... sorry guys but if verizon had an iphone all you haters would be standing in line to get it lol

i love jealous verizon fanboys. cdma sucks, verizon's stupid phones suck, and they have dropped calls as much as any carrier as well. Where do people get off thinking verizon is flawless?

What i love more is anti-verizon ppl here who make stupid unintelligint claims they cant backup. VZW sucks. care to tell me why? As far as the UI goes ya the old one wasnt the greatest but if you HAVENT played with any newer VZW phones you would probably noticed there have been massive improvements, But "VZW LOCKS UP THERE PHONES!" some of the old ones.... sure. do you know WHY they did that? i'm not going to bother to dig it up, but it was based off of some pointless lawsuit were someone did something stupid with there phone and decided suing the company was the answer. (gotta love the good ol' US of A), and you cant use MP3's as ringtones? boo-hoo. with the exception of most motorollas. send the sound file to the phone as a pix/flix message. "BUT THEN I HAVE TO PAY 20 CENTS!". Most phones support blutooth FTP and every other protocol now Sorry. Kinda went off on a tangent there. I just get sick of people complaining about VZW cuz they cant praise the (lack of) service there iphone is attached to. (j/k) And before you start on my iphone joke, THE IPHONE IS A NICE PHONE, the provider that offers it just has crap for coverage. And noone can argue with that.

I have great coverage here in norhteastern PA with att. I even get service where verizon users dont.

I respect tmobile, att, sprint, etc...However, people who work for and have verizon leave too many garbage comments on this post. I had verizon, and the UI on all of their phones are horrible. The omnia will be verizon's first great phone. Everything else they have, including the dare, is just average.
