It's cheap prices and excellent customer service. |
I guess it is different in Florida, ATT customers I know always mention poor coverage and dropped calls. That being said my girlfriend gets a lot better coverage on here VZW phone than I do on my T-Mobile. Thats the reason I am switching. Plus T-Mobile only gives my company a 12% discount where VZW gives 19%  |

There is an article on Computerworld.com regarding the swelling groans and moans of AT&T users signing the twitter petition about the $$$$ they have to shell out for the new Iphone. damn. WWDC seemed to be the tip of the iceberg and as we get deeper into the month of June when Steve Jobs is supposed to have his press conference/release, my curiousity continues to grow...Onthelowlow must know something...or not.

I thought Onthelowlow knew something, most likely he knew he was a good troll.

Yeh well I SERIOUSLY doubt that considering, it would have to be announced first as we have 2 conflicting stories and dates from people in the forums who claim to "know" something.
And Mr. Onthelow, and I quote, "June 8 is right around the corner. mark my words on this day that we will all receive confirmation on everything that I stated earlier and more."
Credibility shot, pulled a big fat fail whale. Mr mark my words June 8th and NOTHING happened. Someone in "the know" would at least know the date of something BIG being announced!! sorry just a common troll.
Lets be honest, VZW ALREADY came out and talked about getting the Pre, they would have spilled the iphone beans now if it was coming in 5 months from now.

Yeah, same with Newatthisgame. I bet if you checked the IP's of both him and Onthelowlow it's the same troll.
People, don't get your hopes up with rumors. Just be patient and wait for the announcement.  |

I could never justify moving merely for the iphone. Honestly its a great phone on a sub standard network. For the price I would be paying and for the reduction in network quality I would be ready to switch back within a month.
Everyone has nasty things to say about their carrier but one thing Verizon got right was the network, now the lame choice in phones, crippling phones (however this appears to be improving), passing initially on the iphone, are another story.

So there IS hope...

I have loved every iPhone but ATT is terrible by mean. Impatiently waiting for VZW to eventually get it. Until then I think I will be happy with the Storm from the times I have used it.

My upgrade date for AT&T is 12/12/09. My upgrade date for Verizon is 3/6/10. AT&T should be running scared for all the potential 3G S buyers who were put off because of the cost for ineligible users.
By 12/12, we should know a lot more about what is coming to Verizon. Palm Pre for sure. Storm 2. iPhone? I would like nothing more than to drop AT&T altogether.

Ive had ATT since Feb with a Bold and just got a 16gb 3GS for $399. Tell me one other carrier who officially does that and gives you any money off before 2 years? None, so I dont think anyone has anything to complain about. ANY other carrier would have charged you the $5-600 for a smartphone until your 22-24 months are up (whereever they let you upgrade).
You signed a 2 year contract thats no one elses fault but yours that you have to wait now.
No one is running scared, ATT already sold out ALL of their pre-order 3GS stock.

The point of my post is the targeted audience for the iPhone 3Gs. AT&T is making money hand over fist with the cost of data plans, texting, and voice minutes. For AT&T to subsidize the cost of all potential customers wouldn't even touch AT&T's bottom line.
Who is AT&T really going to get to buy a 3Gs? V1 iPhone owners for sure. 12 month early upgraders for 3G as well. How many owners are willing to pay extra now for the iPhone? AT&T is digging a deep ditch.
That is the point of my post.
