wow @ an $850 case

thats insane

2.1 not 2.0? Is everyone getting a bump to 2.1 then?

@QuarterSwede

If I went overseas often, I'd have a job that would pay for my phone. If I went even once (which I did earlier this year), I would buy a pre-paid phone that had an international SIM card. The argument for overseas is worthless to most americans.

And as you said, it depends on what you want. If AT&T is awesome in your area and you want the iPhone then by all means go for it. I have two friends in this area who were on AT&T and switched to Verizon because they had absolutely no signal in their home and at their parents' house. Don't blame GSM either for AT&T's shortcomings.

@Joe Las Vegas

I used Sprint for two years before switching to Verizon. I can tell you that the prices are cheaper, but the network is no where near the same quality. In my house I had to have an airave device simply to get a bar or two of signal, and that thing had to sit in a window because it required a GPS lock (not to mention a nearby ethernet port). My calls would routinely get dropped inside and outside my home, the coverage was borderline junk for a major metroplex, and the Sprint customer service was terrible.

On Verizon, I have full 3-4 bars in my home. I have no worse than 3 bars everywhere I've been since owning this phone, and their customer service is awesome -- english speaking, professional people. No Indians in foreign countries called "Dave" with thick, heavy accents that don't know jack about my phone or how to handle customer support problems.

Now, I can't speak for every phone out there, but the Droid is the best phone I've ever seen or used. The network is flawless and I get free navigation, full use of google email/chat/voice, more apps than I know what to do with, etc. AT&T has nothing on this when you combine quality of network and coverage.

Those Luke Wilson commercials are awful. You might as well say "paid for by Apple" because it's the same music and they discuss what iPhone users get (apps).

Also, I just saw the Consumer Reports survery for wireless providers (in their current edition this month). AT&T is DEAD LAST in most major markets and has the worst call quality and call integrity (dropped calls) of all four majors (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mo). Verizon topped all of their categories yet again and had the highest call quality and signal quality ratings in all markets they surveyed.

ouch

lol @ the cloud-sun image there...

hellz yea

hopefully I'll have some black friday luck for once

Would love to know how many people "talk and surf" at the same time.

It's as if AT&T and Apple have found their only saving grace in the "network" fight with Verizon so they're hammering it hard.

Funny thing is that Verizon actually gives props to the iPhone in the misfit toys commercial.

Droid, not even close.

I would never go back to a winmo device after what I've seen with my Droid.
