I had a BB curve for 2 years with VeriZon, and recently made the switch to an Iphone. Around here I see almost no difference in coverage area between the two networks
I liked my BB, but I LOVE my iPhone
Plus. I don't like the way Verizon Locks down their phones.
But in truth, if all u wan is email and text messaging you don't need either. Kinda like buying an F1 to drive thru a school zone
BTW, this was posted from my iPhone
