At least you can see it. Stupid servers at work block the entire video. Thanks, guys.

Also, did he say "USB flap jack?"]]>Mar 24th 2010 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/
nevermind, im going to the sprint store to play with the phones]]>Mar 23rd 2010 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 10:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/
And by switch to SIM cards, you mean spend billions of dollars to completely replace their entire networks?]]>Mar 23rd 2010 9:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/As much as I do love my ability to change phones at a whim, it wouldn't make any sense for Verizon and Sprint to adopt GSM technologies.. I will probably never have a CDMA carrier, though i'm becoming increasingly jealous of their phones. Where I live though, AT&T actually isn't too bad, but it's definitly not the best network. ]]>Mar 23rd 2010 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/
You can't just switch a whole network from CDMA to GSM

What they should do is make the CDMA phones more portable using UIMs, so that you can just switch handsets with ease... tho with all this carrier locking in US its not too useful... so first how about separating the phone from the service... like tmobile's plans.]]>Mar 23rd 2010 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/

well i guess advertising is good for one thing if you actually believe a network is superior because you can 'talk and surf' at the same time.

be realistic, this 'feature' is used so slightly that 99.99% of users will never even notice.]]>Mar 23rd 2010 9:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/
Why the hell would they do this when LTE is being rolled out shortly?

umm, you do get the phone call. It just pauses whatever you are doing using data. For example, if I am loading webpage, call comes through, it stops loading, i finish call, then reload webpage.

Not a big deal at all when it happens, and it rarely happens.]]>Mar 24th 2010 2:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/
Example 2: You call a toll free service line, they put you on hold.. Instead of waiting, you can go and get some Apps while you wait, check your e-mail, play a game and then come back.. I know I might sound like i'm advertising for AT&T, but you know it makes sense. These are not false ads, it all makes it more convenient for the consumer.]]>Mar 24th 2010 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 24th 2010 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 24th 2010 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/
You can get emails while still on a call, as they can come over 1X (like phone calls), not EVDO. I know this to be so, as I've been on the phone with someone as they were emailing me, then hearing the sound to tell me I just got an email. Your other examples are valid points though, though not necessarily big deals at all. I don't have a problem saying 'hold on, I'll call you back', as it takes less than a second to hang up and go to work. No one's thinking "what if I get bored while on hold?" when they're thinking of their next phone.]]>Mar 24th 2010 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 24th 2010 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 9:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/
I haven't tried the phone, but I've read that the keypad is quite small and the phone is also top heavy when the keypad is open. So, when you're using the keypad for texting or whatever, it's a bit difficult to grip/use.]]>Mar 23rd 2010 10:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 24th 2010 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 9:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 9:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 9:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/Mar 23rd 2010 9:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/verizon-vs-atandt-pre-plus-edition/I thought the first cellular phone wasn't even invented until...
