All I know is my Verizon contract is up Jan 17th and the iPhone will get a hard look, if I have the option(I have been thinking about getting a smartphone).

I will not leave Verizon, regardless of the phone.

Believe me, not as hard to do as you think. I too was a loyal Verizon customer until I got my iPhone.
I too was afraid to leave Verizon.
Turns out I went from the 3 to the 4 and am still alive and well, as confirmed by recent physical, to include a rectal prostate check.

My years of experience with AT&T left me with a firm commitment to NEVER return, save for if they were my only choice. Fortunately they are not and I don't expect that they ever will be.

I know there are people very happy with AT&T, I am pleased they are getting what they need. But for me, it was not a happy marriage and I got out.

I am actually in both worlds.
Wife has Verizon from my old account and just renewed.
I am on AT&T.
Wish I could say there was a difference other than mine usually has better service than hers, specially when we are in the Keys.

I think that is very relevant when talking about carriers.... You are often talking apples and oranges related to what area of the country you are in.

New Droid X's for the entire family for Christmas - everyone is very happy!

I have tried them all except T-Mobile and all cell service providers are nickel & dime crooks so I don't think it really matters that much which one you use.

I had At&t a while back, I would get voice messages three days after they were left and no one could tell me why. Around here, my Verizon has much better service than at&t did.
Now the question with your quote is, why do you need a phone in the Keys? Just sit back, relax and throw the phone away!!

Was that part of your carrier plan, or did you have to pay extra? What's the penalty for early termination?

Good news in these parts as Verizon's signal is much better in my area. I have friends and/or family on AT&T and Sprint, and each have a lot more problems getting a signal/dropped calls, etc.

Now, to decide if I want to upgrade...

I think VZN is going to be hard pressed to get people to port from ATT if their data package is going to cost people more. People love the service, but it comes at a price.

I have the iphone now and honestly do hope Verizon gets it, just makes for good pricing wars and better coverage. When guys jump ship from ATT (we all know they will) it will free up some of the coverage zones and hopefully make everything better.

When I am ready renew and dump my Junkberry, I am still going to jump on the Droid Train. I use nothing but Macs at home but if the iPhone still doesn't have Flash capability when it's time to upgrade than I will still not have any interest in the iPhone.

Moi?

BTW,
Forgot to mention, I have to admit, I have many occasions where my AT&T service sucks!!!
I can't believe that they have yet to figure out how to give me service when my phone is dead.

Use your iPhone up here where I live for a few days. You won't think it's so great after that.

You may very well be right.
Don't know where you live.
However, I travel extensively for business and have yet to find such a place.
Don't doubt it exists but I have yet to hit it in my countrywide ride.
I am sure I will eventually find it as I am on a mission.
