real talk
Gsm is good, but not great. Neither is CDMA for that matter. The bottom line is that Verizon has done a better job of pounding it into consumers heads that their network is the best.

VZW has already started offering more minutes with the IN Network calling, which was a huge success. I"m sure there is something else up their sleeve.

seems that he found the wrong forum to post pro-VZW in.
Pimp's right in that they've not had much real competition though. They'll have to work to stay #1, but I think they'll be willing to do so, most companies are when it comes to being able to say "We're #1!".
