I'm actually sort of interested in Windows Phone. A little. I was hamstrung with a Windows Mobile 6.0, and then 6.5 phone for two years before I switched to Android so there is still a pretty bad taste in my mouth but the new software looks interesting. The issue is the generic-azation of the hardware, the requirements are really restrictive and all the phones are looking exactly the same, even down to screen size so if I want a 4.3 inch Windows Mobile 7 phone I guess I am out of luck.

Until Verizon or Apple announce it I wouldn't hold my breath. If Verizon actually comes up with an agreement with Apple they will post that news everywhere. They know what that announcement, by itself, would do to the price of their stock and in turn the money in their pocket. They aren't going to keep that news secret....I have been wrong before though.

I'll stick to the Droid. I don't have to buy "bumpers" to keep my phone from losing reception.

Odds are you won't have to use one.
Here is an article that addresses the problem to be amongst 5%.
That means you have 95% odds of being like me, having a great working phone, with no reception problems, unlike what the rest of the world wants to believe.




IPhone four Some love it, others hate it. Already has had a first big affair. And as this product is perceived by its owners?

Changewave Research Society conducted a survey of satisfaction among customers.Interviewed were several hundred, and all of them are iPhone owners 4th The question was thus perhaps at all – as you are happy with him? 72% of owners responded that the iPhone 4 satisfied, 21% reported relative satisfaction and only six percent of respondents are dissatisfied.

Ostensibly they are a high number, compared to predecessors iPhone 3GS what a loss position. In his case it was 82% of owners of very satisfied and 17% relatively satisfied.Dissatisfied and remained at a mere percentage.

Interesting was also the question of the respondents, whether experienced problems with the antenna. Of those surveyed reported is 5.2%, which on one hand is not huge quantities, but the fact that communication problems or having everyone twentieth, not the best card for Apple.

Very interesting comparisons. I have a storm 2, but im about ready to jump ship. Especially since iOS4 allows for syncing of more than 1 exchange account. That means push email on all my accounts, what BB always had a leg up on.

If I had the option to use my iPhone on Verizon or AT&T I would choose Verizon in a heartbeat. I never had a single dropped call in the 6 years I was with Verizon. I have numerous dropped calls with AT&T. However, I wouldn't give up my iPhone for anything. Granted I have a 3gs with none of the problems that the 4 is plagued with.

I am ready to kill some users that will not stop whining about wanting an iPhone...

Joke's on Verizon. They were offered first shot at the iPhone while I was still working there and they passed because they thought it would be too expensive and people wouldn't buy it.

Oops

I couldn't agree more....I believe Apple changed their mind because growth has been tapering off since the launch of the Andriod OS phones. When I decide to get a new phone I don't know if I want an iphone at this point. Kudos for Google for going up against Goliath.

A couple of years ago the prospect of a Verizon iPhone would have excited me, they were the best out there for a while, but since I've had my Droid Incredible I can see no real advantage to the iPhone vs it. I'll stick with my Droid.

Verizon will get the Iphone when the LTE network is up and running. LTE is the next gen of cellular service.

It would be stupid of apple not to capitalize on the 30% marketshare* that the big V holds.
