The iPhone Revolution Will Have to Wait For the Right Network

WiFi is an excellent feature on the iPhone. How valuable it is depends on how often the user is in a place with a WiFi connection. I use my BB a lot in places (often outside) where there is no WiFi so the benefit to me would be modest, EVDO is available most places I go. And with a BB I never have to depend on slow EDGE speed to get or receive email. OTOH, I don't get rich text on a BB but don't much care. I get the email right away.

The iPhone Revolution Will Have to Wait For the Right Network

I agree with you Scott 100%. I have tried Verizon, Cingular, T-Mo and Sprint in the Washington, DC area and when I travel. My phone calls are noticeably clearer on Verizon. It sounds like a land line. AT&T's network just isn't as good as Verizon. Devices come and go but what matters is the network. I too have an 8830. Verizon is more expensive because its network is better. You can get more minutes for less money elsewhere.

I bought an iPhone today but haven't been able to bring myself to activate it. AT&T has a mediocre network and weak customer service. Verizon and T-Mo have good to excellent customer service in my opinion.
