    I've had sprint, Nextel, tmobile, boost, att, verizon, and virgin mobile lol. I had the Droid, Droid x2, iPhone 3, 3g, 3gs, 4 and 4s env, razor(current), sidekick etc. Lmao to me the iPhone is good and alot of people the the simple operating system and software, also the iPhone has tons and tons of cases. But the android operating system u can customize like different text message apps like hands cent I love that. But to me the razor is a great phone but I have to pay extra for a 5gb data plan where as sprint is 30 cheaper and you can get unlimited data for like 80 a month total I believe and still get the iPhone or a good android. I don't work for a phone company but have had and sold aloooot of phones so if you need advice and I can help let me know.but I am not a expert just had real life experiences with tons of phones I think I'm addicted lmao! Oh another great thing is androids free GPS is amazing and has turn by turn navigation iPhone doesn't :)

    I previously had the Droid Incredible from when it was released until the Droid RAZR was released. Both good phones.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    I got the 4S and love it, at first I was skeptical about the damn touchscreen, but it is a great phone and has everything I need in it! Really dig the GPS and Gas Buddy app that allows me to locate the cheapest gas stations for whatever town I happen to be in!

    I had to leave Verizon. They are ridicously expensive. I agree that they have the best coverage, but they make you pay for it and then some.

    It is all about where you live though. I switched the wife and I to T-Mobile after speaking to a few friends who have had their service for years and years and spoke highly of their experience. We both got the Samsung Galaxy S II's and love them! Our service has been excellent too. So far so good with no drop offs. The GS2 is pretty damn fast in itself and the 4g is fast as well. I mostly use my WiFi when at home or in a hotspot as it is still faster than 4g. Plus, you aren't using data when using the WiFi.

    Been with VZ for 5 years. Absolutely best coverage. I have the Galaxy Nexus. best damn phone ever. LTE is wicked fast. Has much much better battery life than my old thunderbolt. It is bone stock android 4.0 and doesnt come loaded down with bloat ware. Nexus... the only way to do android. I will not upgrade til another nexus comes out. no more bloat and crappy manufacturers skins for me.

    However comma...

    Verizon has decided to fuck people over who are grandfathered in on the unlimited data plan.

    I recently debated going to a 4g Phone (upgrade time), but since im grandfathered in, i sure as shit wasnt spending a extra 30 dollars a month for fucking 4g.

    So i got the best 3G phone i could, the Iphone 4S.

    They WERE gonna do some convenience fee to pay online too. I emailed them and told them that that would cause me to issue an inconvenience fee to them in the form of putting a check in the mail with a stamp on it at the last possible moment to not incurr a late charge and they wouldn't be getting my payments as fast or conveniently as they have in the past. They sent a very long reply to the effect of not going forward with that due to the amount of negative response they received......good choice.

    Wait, so if you are grandfathered in on the $30 unlimited deal and it's time to upgrade with a 4g phone, they will tack on the additional $30?

    I guess this is there way of phasing out those grandfathered plans for all phones will be 4g in time.

    This is why I had to leave Verizon. I had to pay for a family plan, then a data plan on each phone at $60 a piece, since I wasn't grandfathered in on the $30 unlimited plan.

    I'm glad they work great for you, but that doesn't mean other phones suck compared to it. The Bionic and many other phones own the iphone. Iphone needs to do some seriouse catch-up...
    You don't have to pay the extra $30 for 4g if you don't have it in your area. My dad has a 4g phone and only pays for 3g. A verizon rep called me a couple weeks ago letting me know that i'm do for a upgrade and that I could get a 4g phone without paying for 4g service, I would only have to pay for 3g.
