I think that just about covers it.
Probably everyone here is a split between two of these. I'm Fanboy/Overuser

you need another one the Viphoner.
Paid for the same iphone 4 twice by switching over.
Says using voice/data isn't a big deal, but is praying for a JB work around somehow.
Is silently seething about the slow internet speeds on verizon.
Is trying to figure out how much he can sell his Iphone 4 for, and upgrade in June.
Is cursing AT&T for dropping the price of their plans to compete.

I'm both the hacker and the overuser.
I'm also equal part fanboy
and equal part complainer .
I think the chart is misleading in suggesting that the different types can't overlap with each other.
That's a bit unfair. Have you ever tried to use the iPhone in New York, or I think any area with a very high population density.
The two times I visited my brother in New York, the iPhone was unusable. You drop three calls for everyone you successfully make.
Where I live, I've never had a single problem with AT&T. But anyone that lives in New York, I think would have to be nuts not to switch over to Verizon.

Great post. I call them vTards.

Yeah think I fall into the Fanboy/Overuser category. But this is my first ever iPhone. Moved from Android. I have owned Macs for a while however.
Great post. I call them vTards.
You forgot the aTards..
-Adamantly believes AT&T service is awesome everywhere when in reality it's not.
-Doesn't make phone calls.
-Doesn't care about drop calls or voice quality.
-Cares more about speedtest numbers than actual consistent cellular output.
-Regurgitates the same argument about data & voice at the same time on MacRumors forums.
You forgot about the completely pointless and impractical simultaneous voice and data argument.
Apple fanboys have reached a new low with this Network battle. V-Idiots and ******s, I tell ya. Lord help us if T-Mobile or Sprint gets a hold of the iPhone.
I am an aTard only for reason #2. I could care less about phone calls. I use my iPhone as a data device.
I'd actually be between a Overuser and Unappreciative, I guess.
Anyway, I wouldn't call it "pointless & impractical" but then I apparently use my phone differently.
How would that not be a complainer?
?
Then what's this line, or was a failed attempt at humor?

Agreed. The list was ok, but I expected more.
Agreed. All of the networks have their strengths and weaknesses.
Haha...good pic. I'm probably an Overuser, minus the Angry Birds costume
LOL. Me too.
