wow are the anti-at&t fanboys are sad. On at&t, I cant remember the last time I had dropped call. actually, I almost never lose a 3g signal.

Have fun with your dying CDMA tech and horrible phones on verizon. htc incredible is the best thing you have? bwuahaha. good one.]]>Jun 25th 2010 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/

Hey dude, ever heard of the Droid X?]]>Jun 25th 2010 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/
Why can't we all just get along? AT&T's network works fine for some, horrible for others. If it works well for you - good.

Verizon phones are getting better and better... especially with the DroidX coming next month. And the Incredible is a great phone, I'm not sure what there is to laugh about it. ]]>Jun 25th 2010 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/

whats droid x? is that the typical incrimental hardware updates with the same old hack-together OS? You do understand most people dont care how many task managers android has in the marketplace, right?
People also dont care about open source, because it obviously has proven that it doesnt make anything better. ]]>Jun 25th 2010 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/
Sprint 4G FTW]]>Jun 25th 2010 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/Jun 25th 2010 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/
Boy you sure are fun today!

I had AT&T for 2 years (3G and 3GS). I had calls drop regularly. This occurred in two different areas on a regular basis (Home / College). 3G seemed to drop out for no reason.

While I hate to agree with you that CDMA tech is on it's way out, the phones on Verizon are far from horrible. How's this for a crappy lineup: Touch Pro 2, Droid, Incredible, Pre/Pixi, any number of CrackBerries, and soon to be Droid 2 and Droid X. All very, very horrible.

Not.]]>Jun 25th 2010 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/
Sprint 4g? you mean 3.5g , because most people havent gotten over 2.5 mbps speeds. REAL 4g is LTE, not ghetto wifi called wimax.]]>Jun 25th 2010 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/
Don't lie to yourself. Just because you get good reception doesn't mean there aren't millions of people who don't. In Los Angeles area I have witnessed my friends with iPhones drop calls, get text messages late, not have reception in their own homes and work places. It's really bad and LA is a major metropolitan area where you would think AT&T would have better infrastructure.

The iPhone 4 is a worthy competitor to the Droid X and Droid Incredible, not the other way around. One of the huge reasons for that is the quality and reliability of service you get on Verizon. ]]>Jun 25th 2010 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/
Tell that to the 160,000 people a day that purchase Android phones. That's 2 per second. ]]>Jun 25th 2010 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/
if you knew anything about telecommunications, you would understand that major metropolitan area have the largest congestion of data on the planet, and just adding hundreds of cell towers everywhere doesnt fix anything, But its ok, keep saying at&t isnt doing anything and they dont know anything.]]>Jun 25th 2010 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/If the Droid X is just an incremental hardware update, what's that make the iPhone 3G and 3GS? Those were tiny updates and the phone only really got much of an update with the iPhone 4.

Also, the task manager argument is dead. Most people know that task managers are unnecessary since Android can handle itself.]]>Jun 25th 2010 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/Jun 25th 2010 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/verizon-wireless-changing-to-verizon-this-sunday-massive-new-br/

NYC is simply so dense, that is is NOT POSSIBLE to support all the devices that operate in the same airspace as they have reserved by the FCC (which, btw, included devices not from AT&T that happen to also have the capability of using that airspace, combined with the fact that NYC is heavily transient, and AT&T can't exactly limit subscriber share there either, nor prevent NYers from importing devices registered to people out of state even if they tried).

btw: Verizon also admits issues in NY, SF, Chicago, and Dallas, even though it;ls not near as pronounced, and not ridiculed either.
