    if its confusing then maybe you don't need it, but its very helpful to put someone on speaker phone and pull up then discuss a recently sent email or send it while on the phone. All without the whole ill call you back thing.

    For the record, I usually drop at least 5 calls a day. AT&T def needs to get a fix on that. The service issues are not rumors. So I def see the attraction to verizon. But hopefully half of the zillion iphone users will go over to verizon and service will improve.

    LMAO- I haven't dropped a call because of my end of the signal in months on Verizon...so I guess being able to read an e-mail while talking on the phone doesn't really matter if you can't even talk on the phone reliably.

    This is a matter of priorities and selective ignorance. You like your iPhone and the only place you get that is AT&T...for now...so you defend them and tout the ONE thing that they do that is better...which really isn't that important. I'd rather be able to reliably talk OR surf the web one at a time...then do both with unreliably....but that's just me.

    And I wouldn't expect your service to get that much better with users jumping the sinking ship to Verizon...Bad coverage is still bad coverage....

    Maybe your right but it's not a huge factor from not switching from AT&T to verizon. No one can say AT&T has better service than verizon.2 kids i work with have iPhones.their phones do not work in our building.WTF??? They are 20 ft away and the call won't go thru. My only dilemma is all the other guys i work with have droids and have all the original nintendo games on their phones.who doesnt love some old school nintendo games???you can't get them on the iPhone,unless you jail break it. Anything will be better than my gay envy crap phone

    So the rumor that Verizon is getting the iPhone has finnally come true. I have been waiting for it for some time now. The new rumor I heard is that the iPhone 5 will be comming out in the fall and it will be able to talk and browse on Verizons new LTE(?) network. Now I am not super in the loop on this sort of stuff, but I would imagine that Verizon will be fixing the talk and browse problem as soon as they can. I want the iPhone but already have to wait untill late summer to get it. Might just wait till fall and see if I can just catch the next wave, if there is one.

    How long ago did he hear confirmation of the iPhone 4? If it is scheduled for fall then they would prob keep pretty tight lipped for now. Just a thought. I can't do anything for a while anyway so wtf.

    It was capped at 5gb when it was "unlimited" anyways. Sprints the only company that offers true unlimited.
