Maybe in urban areas, but in SD and NE, there's no contest (well, there's no TMob either). It's not just Verizon's better than TMobile, it's that CDMA carriers (USC, VZW, Alltel) do much better in terms of coverage than GSM carriers.
Other than a few cities spiderwebbed from T-Mo or AT&T, are there any GSM carriers there? Verizon bought RCC (Unicel) which did have several cities covered with GSM, but it plans to force migrate those customers to CDMA2000.
want Java, get a blackberry.
Verizons network is open now, so bring what ever phone you want over.
Alltel, Sprint.

So that's why Verizon is migration to LTE and dropping the CDMA family?
If I buy an unlocked iPhone from Europe, how do I have Verizon hook it up for local service here?
GSM carriers have always had open networks, just pop out the SIM card and put it into a different compatible phone. The GSM company didn't care.
If what you're claiming is true, then why hasn't every single customer in the United States dropped every other company and moved to Verizon? Why is it th...

1st, iPhone wont work on Verizons network, were still CDMA wich is more safe then GSM. GSM is annoying.
2nd, AT&T will not unlock a phone for you to use on there service. Verizon will unlock a CDMA phone if you bring it to them, and its a 95% chance they wont unlock it for there network.
3rd, Not all GSM phones will work with every GSM network. there are d

Obviously AT&T has well over 70m customers, they're network can't be that bad.

I've been with Cingular for 6 years, and I have been very happy with them. As a customer, I have been treated very well. Other than trying to ask about upgrading handsets a few times, I have only had to call customer care regarding two issues that arose during the 6 years as a customer. So, I guess I can't comment on the quality of customer service directly since I've only had to call twice.
One time was a roaming issue where Cellular One's (Western Wireless) system wouldn't allow me to make calls, so when I called Cingular, they contacted T-Mobile while I was on the phone to make sure I would have access to r...

I've been with Cingular/ATT for 7yrs.
I agree with all your points, especially the one that there will be more device support for LTE, than for WiMax.
I'm just looking forward to the day when REAL wireless broadband is here, I have high hopes for the 2nd half of this year.

The best in anything is who sets the standard. And when it comes to "broadband" internet, wireless or not, the best is the speeds that the cable companies offer.
5+mbps or better.
And I feel that until wireless companies, AT&T, and Verizon offer the same speeds that cable companies offer they aren't entitled to use the term "wireless broadband".
