If the IPhone somehow makes it to Verizon, your hands will easily pry off that provider…That being said, I switched back to Verizon and purchased the Droid. They practically begged me to come back since my son and wife are still on Verizon. The Droid is not the IPhone and never will be. But it has features that I consider worthy of the switch. Camera with flash, customizable, sound call quality and most important, no dropped calls. Can’t count the number of them and I live in a saturated orange map area of AT&T. And I get so annoyed hearing my own voice in the earpiece when on a call. It’s like an echo. Also I can download on 3G in my home videos from tv.com that load as fast as if I was on wifi with AT&T. I was amazed at the difference in 3G speeds on the Droid, or should I say Verizon. But to each his own. Try them out side by side. You’ll be shocked like I was…

Hmmm, if that so then my 3G shouldn’t even work at all in the state of SD where AT&T aren’t suppose to be available but it’s just the opposite since my 3G and Edge data plan works just fine when I visited this location.

Checking and comparing this so called map between Verizon and AT&T, seems like it’s just about the same with Verizon just a few hair more giving the fact that Verizon arent really showing the right map in comparison. I believe it’s really about the devices that seperates this 2 company in which the iPhone really making a difference for Verizon to mock AT&T with the “We got a map for that” advertisements.

Bottom line, Verizon should quit bragging about how big is their network and AT&T’s speed of it’s network as the consumers choice will pretty much varries in one’s own preferences especially when devices offer between AT&T and Verizon are another deal breaker other than it’s network. But regardless of this map advertisement, Verizon will never ply my hands off of my iPhone just yet.

I would say att is misleading… The funny thing is the att 3g only map that verizon is using in their adds is the same coverage map that att used to show coverage.. I like how they base their coverage only off of population and not area covered like verizon.. So basically if you dont live and work in a major market like LA, Chicago or some other big city you dont count…

3G defines the generation, not the speed.

It is a bit misleading, but technically true.

The do say 3G when referencing AT&T’s coverage but when they reference their own 3G network, it includes their lower speed that compares to AT&T’s EDGE.

“…some recent ads from Verizon are so blatantly false…”

They say 3G coverage, not data coverage. Try improving the network before defending it
