So who would take thier iPhone to Verizon?

[@ otto99]

And do I want to? I have zero knowledge of Verizon's service and coverage, and I don't have particular issues with AT&T. So apart from any potential savings, is their an advantage in switching?

... don't have huge problems with AT&T ... and some of my major clients, only service I have while in their building is AT&T ...

Something to consider also for those of you who want to switch:

you would have to get a CDMA version of the iPhone (whole different radio). You probably know this, but I figured I should point it out.

Best to see how it all pans out and see what network upgrades AT&T does. Besides, if you are on contract now, you don't want to pay the early term fees.

Verizon Pros:
Better *US* network and coverage
4G LTE on 700mhz should be teh awesum
They aren't AT&T

AT&T Pros:
GSM is better for international coverage
They'll probably blow you to keep you on their network

I have 5 phones running in our household and when I decided to shut one down, ATT just said: keep it and we won't charge you for it anymore. To sweeten the deal of not shutting down the phone besides not having to make the monthly charge on it, they gave me 10K roll-over minutes and kicked me up into the next higher family plan with more minutes for no extra charge. Their service is nice.

Unless Verizon could get the iPhone to run 4G, i don't see any reason to switch. Besides if you also have an iPad with 3G service, you still pay ATT.

I'm hoping that millions will switch to 4G, so I can have 3G service all to myself. Speed difference between 3G and 4 G isn't that great. Supposedly 3.5G service which is what most people are running on will give you 1-3 Mbps actual speed, while 4G will give you 3-5 Mbps actual speed. Not even twice the speed. Now if i could get 65 Mbps like I have at home, I'd switch in an instant. My iPhone at home shows speeds of about 20Mbps with the "Speedtest" site. Same for the iPad. I get the full 65 Mbps on my laptops, though. Cheap Apple products.

anycase I hate ATT because they drop calls like no tomorrow and I live in a major metropolitan area.

between towers.

Verizon 4G LTE is the real thing. Sprint's is real, but WiMax and on a crappy high frequency.
