Curious. If Verizon offered the iPhone in 2010, would you drop AT&T?

Nope. AT&T is about as good as Verizon here (and where I travel), plus I use voice+data together frequently enough that I know I'd miss it.
If this happened, the masses of people that hate AT&T would then swamp Verizon. Things (like network performance, customer service, etc) would only get better for AT&T (if they lost 2 million customers), and those same things would only get worse for Verizon (if they suddenly gained 2 million customers).

And how would losing 2 million customers would be "better" for AT&T and "worse" for Verizon, wouldn't it be the other way around??? hehehe I know what you meant, you just posted it funny.
No, Im happy with AT&T and their coverage is great here locally.
Only if it went over to Tmobile so I can take advantage of the $49 unlimited plans I'd think about switching. Not so I can get nickle and dimed by Verizon as if it would happen anyway

I think he means for AT&T customers... that's 2 million less customers hogging ATT's bandwidth, which in turn would amount to better phone and data service.
Verizon is much better because they've had the infrastructure longer than anyone. Verizon was smart and invested like crazy in this stuff like 20 years ago. Cingular (AT&T) was no where near the level that Verizon was a few years ago, and AT&T has a lot of catching up to do.
Yes, they invested in keeping around dieing old technology that has been phased out worldwide
No. AT&T's service is not good in my area, but I will go with AT&T because of 17% FAN discount (2 lines).
i would lose my 24% FAN discount...not to mention im SURE verizon would put the $350 ETF on the iphone...and somehow be a lot more expensive than att, so nope, i wouldnt go to them.
To most, AT&T and Apple have almost become synonymous, but some will argue that fact. Personally, I would switch in a heartbeat - Verizon's network is extremely powerful and much better than AT&Ts outside of major cities.

and yet their (Verizon) tech was able to make the switch from 2G- 3G with more of a software grade instead of a tower upgraded.....
makes you wonder doesnt it. Who made the right call. 3G used by the GSM guys has more in common with Verizon 2G tech than it does with GSM 2G tech.
