The statistics behind the report really suggest that the networks are more alike. Big deal - 7/10 Verzion vs 6.5 ATT like their service.

CR is going to go the way of the Dodo bird, with their old fashioned ideas and backwards mentality (I realized that years ago when they told readers to resist the switch from the old round 5" and 7" headlights on cars!)]]> Thu, 03 Dec 2009 10:18:37 -0500

1. iPhone is a great phone for talking and phenomenal for conferencing.

2. ATT has been better than Verizon for me - signal everywhere and no limitation on combined voice/data with ATT

3. Battery life has be fine. Never gone dead yet.

4. iPhone keyboard is fast - I tied a Crackberry addict (boy, was she pissed!)

5. Mail on the iPhone is fantastic - I have a gmail account which allows push along with immediate OTA calendar synchronization.]]> Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:30:50 -0500

1. Multi-tasking: There has been a lot of hype about multi-tasking with Android. Verizon's CDMA network does not allow simultaneous Voice and Data - so multi-tasking is in the toilet. Pundits state that the iPhone doesn't multi-task but why can I talk on the phone, get email, surf the web, play multi-player games, use Maps, etc - all simultaneously. So to me, the iPhone clearly trumps Verizon's Android in this area.

2. Verizon's CDMA network has yet to be tested with a high bandwidth hog like the Android. ATT's network has suffered partly due to the fact that iPhone users actually use their device (while Verizon's devices have been crippled to death to reduce data usage (as the Android is, as noted above). CDMA really has a problem when multiple devices are 'on the same tower' and expect to see cracks in the Verizon 'emperor with no clothes' network!]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:56:19 -0500

One big Verizon negative is that it's old (soon to be replaced with LTE) CDMA network can not handle simultaneous Voice and Data (like ATT/iPhone can).

(so much for the multi-tasking benefit - iPhone trumps Droid here)]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:18:07 -0500

Android multi-tasking is hobbled with CDMA.

Even the iPhone (GSM) allows one to check email, browse the web and use a multitude of other programs while on the phone.]]> Sun, 15 Nov 2009 12:02:14 -0500

I switched from Verizon to ATT and have been completely satisfied with ATT.

Actually, ATT's network is better than Verizon as it allows simultaneous voice and data, something you can not do with Verzions antiquated CDMA network (to be replaced by LTE in a few years)!
