IT'S COMING!!!

Not the obnoxious storm that everyone is talking about, but the iPhone to Verizon Wireless.  Current iPhone users, will you switch? Is $325 for an early termination fee worth it or will you wait for the iPhone 5 to come out, since AT&T shaves off $10 each month that you are in agreement, might be worth it.  We've gone this long right?  Patiently awaiting Verizon customers...how excited are you?  I'm sure you thought this day would never come. I'm interested in knowing who has plans on getting one in the next month.

From what I have read although VZW may have the best network for voice and fewer dropped calls, their data network is shy of AT&Ts and well...that is the majority of what I use my iPhone for.  As the article below talks about, I agree that I have more dropped calls on my iPhone 4 from my face hanging up on people or placing us in Face Time mode, then my service actually cutting out.  Also since I have major ADD and tend to need to do more than one thing at once, the fact that I can be on the phone and browse the Internet, update Facebook, tweet, and play Angry Birds is a huge bonus.  From the article, it looks as though that may not be the case with Verizon's iPhone. 

As a former VZW customer for 10 years and a former employee I hated leaving Verizon Wireless, but I don't think I will be paying the termination fee to return right out of the bat until another version of the iPhone for VZW comes out so that the flaws are fixed.  I'm sure as AT&T has done with improving their voice network, Verizon will be working on their data network to keep and gain customers.

By the way...where the hell are Sprint and T-Mobile?  They still exist right?  Who's excited for the APPLE stores to be even more overcrowded? I'm curious to hear who will be getting one, so please comment away if you are.
