Umm, yes really. Where is the BB Bold on VZW? I can buy an unlocked Storm and it will work on ATT. Can you do that with an iPhone on VZW?

Just another reason why GSM is superior to CDMA -- phone selection.

Plus, Verizon Wireless crushes AT&T for coverage reliability in the US. Yes, AT&T has traditionally had a better selection of phones, but that's going to change with the Storm.]]>Nov 8th 2008 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/atandt-quickfire-hits-shelves-a-few-days-early/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/atandt-quickfire-hits-shelves-a-few-days-early/Nov 8th 2008 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/atandt-quickfire-hits-shelves-a-few-days-early/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/atandt-quickfire-hits-shelves-a-few-days-early/
This discussion is about phone selection, not coverage.

Wireless technology has EVERYTHING to do with phone selection. 82% of cell users worldwide use GSM...which is why there is a higher quantity and quality of devices available for GSM users. Why should HTC/APPL/RIM or any business for that matter want to invest money in selling exclusive products to only 18% of market users?

AT&T decides what phones it wants from all global device mfrs, while VZW is TOLD by the same companies what phones will be made for them. This is the exact reason VZW is dumping CDMA in favor of LTE (GSM evolution) in the next 5 yrs.

So tell me another one. ]]>Nov 8th 2008 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/atandt-quickfire-hits-shelves-a-few-days-early/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/atandt-quickfire-hits-shelves-a-few-days-early/Nov 8th 2008 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/atandt-quickfire-hits-shelves-a-few-days-early/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/atandt-quickfire-hits-shelves-a-few-days-early/

Overall I was expecting a crappier phone when I first saw it, but Its better than I thought it would be. (Which isnt to say that it floors me, but if you're satisfied with a sidekick, I'd see no reason why you wouldnt be satisfied with the Quickfire)

Then again, I'm more of a smart phone kinda guy.]]>Nov 9th 2008 4:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/atandt-quickfire-hits-shelves-a-few-days-early/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/atandt-quickfire-hits-shelves-a-few-days-early/Nov 9th 2008 4:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/atandt-quickfire-hits-shelves-a-few-days-early/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/atandt-quickfire-hits-shelves-a-few-days-early/Nov 9th 2008 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/atandt-quickfire-hits-shelves-a-few-days-early/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/atandt-quickfire-hits-shelves-a-few-days-early/Nov 10th 2008 1:25PM
