The reason I bought my first Smartphone was to keep from carrying 2 devices. The iPhone allowed me to combine 3 devices.
Yeah, some people whine, but most of us just express our desire to have a Verizon iPhone. But when people talk about Verizon whiners, I feel like they are lumping us all together (and often they are...but admittedly maybe they don't always mean all of us.)
Same here. At the time I purchased the Gen 1 iPhone, I was walking around with an iPod, a Palm T|X, and a Motorolla RAZR. An unfortunate bathroom accident rendered the RAZR inoperable, and AT&T wanted $350 to replace the phone (which they'd just given me for free 12 months prior). I figured that if they were going to charge me $350 for a RAZR, I'd bump in the extra $50, get the iPhone, and consolidate 3 devices.
You're correct, I'm not attempting to lump people together, I apologize if I offended. I'm talking about the people who think that AT&T is such an evil company and that the likes of Verizon and/or Sprint will treat them with kid gloves, etc.
Truth be told, if my reception was bad here in Rochester, I might consider another carrier for the iPhone, but luckily, it's not been a problem as of yet. That and we've been with the same carrier for over a decade, back when it was Cell One.
For those out there who aren't complaining and simply want decent reception, I do hope that Verzion and/or Sprint releases an iPhone. I honestly believe that if we could get the iPhone base spread out over the 3 carriers, it'd be beneficial for all users involved.
