So, we should own this neat little device that costs $5 on Amazon and tells you how strong the signal is for every carrier wherever you are standing, right?Why is it even matter? If the carrier doesn't offer you signal there, then you should never even consider it in the first place.
If you have a bad signal then you should have never signed up for aT&T in the first place. It's your fault.
How about a review comparing the Verizon iPhone with an AT&T iPhone 4 where AT&T is only EDGE, you know, like the rest of the nation live, ie THERE REAL PEOPLE.
you Verizon people are idiots. you seem to think that Verizon doesn't just consider you a number either, that they are going to lovingly give you anything you want, how soon you forget that they dropped a $20 fee on your hotspot tethering on top of your data plan. Suckers.
I have both Verizon and AT&T and I travel alot of work (work phone is Verizon). I use my AT&T iphone a lot more as its constantly getting a better signal both here in San Antonio and all through out the south Texas country side from the Mexico border north. Its based on your areas. If you bought AT&T in an area where they are not prominent, that thats your fault, not AT&T
Wait, AT&T is faster after all?
Verizon FAIL.

notabadname said:Voice call drop not being an issue for me, I'll take the faster AT&T data.
If the city you live in is NYC or the Bay Area, AT&T sucks.According to the United States Census Bureau, 82.6% of Americans live in metropolitan areas.

Im in Boston. I switched from Verizon to At&t just to get the iphone 4. I was hesitant because of the horror stories i hear about at&t. Turns out my signal is just fine all over the city, and most places i travel to. I have had a total of no more that 5 dropped calls since July.
I was seriously considering selling it on ebay and switching back to verizon if it could be done with no cost, but now i wouldnt even consider it for a second. Data is what smartphones are all about, not voice. My "phone" is good enough by far. my "pocket computer" totally rocks.
So if you live in a city, like most of us do, At&t might be the way to go for you. But you should go with verizon, because i don't want to share my bandwidth with you.![]()
Yea, it's pretty much accepted that Verizon has better reception/coverage but AT&T has faster speeds (and can do voice + data simultaneously).
Personal preference.
Given that Apple will release a new iPhone this summer (assuming they stick with their product cycle), is there any buzz on 4G implementation? I realize 4G is fairly new and most 4G networks may not extend beyond major cities, however I have read on Qualcomm's 3G/4G and CDMA/GSM technology. Any chance the iPhone 5 may incorporate any of this or is it too early?
Holding off on the next iPhone may make a difference in carrier choice if the new iPhone makes better use of VZWs' network. It won't change the lack of simultaneous data and voice which is a deal breaker for me, however VZW phone service is superior to AT&T, UGH why can't we have it all?! lol
Wow. Good to know. U = everyone in the US.
Wait, Verizon is more reliable than AT&T after all?
AT&T FAIL.
