I'm going to play devil's advocate and say that if the iphone stays with ONE carrier, I'd rather the iphone stay on at&t rather than vzw...the price of the iphone is not as bad as it used to be but if i would pay "iphone" money for a phone, it's best on a gsm network. vzw just loves to lock down phones with that ugly UI.

I'll make this simple:

Iphone=smartphone (at least as far as UI is concerned)

Verizon does nothing to change smartphone UI.


See:
Blackberries
Windows Mobile Devices
Palm Devices

Apple would fall into that category, not into the category of LG, Motorola (non-smartphones) etc.
