[NTLK] Verizon and the iPhone

[Matt Howe]

I use an LG Vortex Android with Verizon. I have an iPhone from work for a
project I'm working on. But after using the two side by side, my money will
go to the Android.

Hello everyone:

As many of you already have iPhones, I am curious as to your thoughts about
this morning's Major Announcement: "iPhone Comes to Verizon" (
http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2011/01/verizon-iphone-no-longer-a-myth-av
ailable-in-february.ars ).

I am wary of starting such a discussion here as it is definitely off-topic
(from our beloved Newtons)...but it's also been a few days since there's
been any activity, so I thought I'd "kick the sleeping dog" and maybe start
up some discussion.

What do you think? Are you more or less tempted to buy an iPhone now?
Myself, I'd stick with AT&T for now...for one thing, there's no simultaneous
phone/data use available on the Verizon iPhone (not possible on the CDMA
network). And, Verizon's 3G is allegedly slower than AT&T's (

buy-the-verizon-iphone-yet ).

Thanks,
