at&t service sucks everywhere. their commercials tell you that they cover 90 + % of the country and that is true because most carriers share towers. so even if they do not have their own coverage where you are at the time, you can still (in most cases) get some service. what they do not tell you is that in substantially less than half of the areas where you can get their signal, you do not get the 3g coverage. therefore, the iphone does you no good.
that is not the case with my blackberry. you may want to read up a bit before you decide though as it looks like the storm is due for some improvements, including a new o/s and a new webkit browser that is supposed to be much better than the one in the iphone. "For those of you hoping that RIM could pull off a handset capable of challenging the incredibly slim and futuristic tree-borne Android handsets in the touchphone hardware arena, you'll have to dream past the Storm 3. From the looks of it, we'll be getting a fairly minor "refresh" of the Storm 2, according to our tipster, with upgrades more designed to accommodate BlackBerry 6 than anything. As seen on the slide, the phone will double the Storm 2's RAM with 512MB, the camera will be bumped up to 5 megapixels, and the WiFi is being shifted to 802.11n -- a spec RIM is already rocking on the Pearl 3G, so not unprecedented. Outside of BlackBerry 6 and that (supposedly) blazing new WebKit browser, we're probably most enthused about the "coming soon" 3G mobile hotspot functionality, something that's made our Android handsets invaluable as of late. We were already hearing the Storm 3 and Curve 3 (another refresh, says our tipster) were holiday possibles for Verizon, and the bottom of this slide points to an "___ember" month." also check this link as well...http://pocketnow.com/rumor/blackberry-storm-3-to-be-powered-by-new-os-lte-4g-synaptics-touchscreen |

I ditched A T & T. I just love my Tracfone Samsung T301G with double minutes. It is the best phone I have found for living in the boonies as far as reception goes. The double minutes is really the bomb for me.

Who are you with to get these 'double minutes' and what are the others specifics of their plan? How long a contract? Monthly rate? I'm still using a dumb LG CU-500 I bought when I brought my third RAZR in one month back 'cuz the battery died after 23 hours on each of 'em ...

Who are you with to get these 'double minutes' and what are the others specifics of their plan? How long a contract? Monthly rate? I'm still using a dumb LG CU-500 I bought when I brought my third RAZR in one month back 'cuz the battery died after 23 hours on each of 'em ... Its a Walmart phone. No contract; No plan. No monthly rate. I had the razr from at&t and I tried my best to cancel. I even called at&t and tried to cancel. A T & T tried to help me cancel but they couldn't even do it. They just kept trying to make things right with the ever increasing charges they gave me. But Tracfone was able to cancel my A T & T contract with no problems. Tracfone even let me keep my old number and when I checked on the razr the sims card showed unregistered. It was a miracle.

Ive never had a smart phone. But I have recently gotten the Droid Eris from Verizon. And so far...I pretty much love it!!

The Droid is very cool if you like touch screen, I personally do not. Also the HTC Incredible is supposed to be pretty amazing as well. I just got the new Blackberry Bold and I LOVE IT
