I would not buy an iphone either. Apple is as bad as Verizon in controlling the user experience. Nokia N series is my addiction.

Joe, most of what you say annoys me but you are dead on with that last one. People don't believe me but if I switched from Verizon to at&t I would get a N series or stick with Blackberry over an iPhone.. but you know marketing for apple has always dragged in the masses, but on the new iphone they did release a few of the bluetooth profiles finally.

A little off topic, but, for what its worth.
At the request of my family we almost switched from VZW (BB) to AT&T for iPhone's.
The switch was a natural as we use MAC's, plus, the available apps were really attractive, not to mention some that my colleagues are working on.
I won't get into the whole AT&T vs VZW thing as I am a VZW love, but, I will throw this in.
As I was about to make the switch, something kept gnawing at me. I pulled three months worth of bills and learned that between "in" thing and the "10 friends and family" deal, we average about 3,600 of those minutes alone.
I had everyone write down how many non VZW people they call on a REGULAR basis. The list was really small. Bottom line, for me to switch, I would ...

I signed a two year deal to buy a couple 3GS to sell them and pay for a Nokia N97. I used one for a couple weeks and I missed my n95! What it does it does well. But what concerned me was what it could not so....and the list is long.
Its a toy to me. A fun gadget, In fact I liked that part of it and bought the Ipod touch. BUt as a phone its reception was no where near the Nokia. No wireless syncing, No multi tasking, Everything about the phone seemed toyish right sown to the VU meter and photo of the studio mike for audio recording..
Then add 3X the data cost and I save $460 buy using the N97 instead which will pay for the next phone. I had not had a contract for years with ATT but $600 turned into $1400......worth two years with a car...

I use an Ipod touch.. Until my contract is up I have just a basic EnV2 phone. It's great as a phone, but the Touch is really nice to have as a PDA. You can set it up to sync via wifi with Google (calender, contacts, etc)
I'll go with Joe on this one, if you want the iphone feel, the ipod touch will do most of what you want it to. It is a neat toy, but the phone part of it is lacking.
Here's to having an Android phone available by Christmas.

Agrees.Although I am a Nokia fan-boy I will take a long look at Android in a couple years.. By then it should be entrenched and applications should be available. I am an OPEN fan buy as well Open networks, open phones, I am willing to put up with ...

I think it will open up a lot with LTE. Verizon's done a lot lately to open up the network. Opening GPS, putting wifi on more devices, etc. They still have a long way to go, but at least they are moving in the right direction.
I think once you get to LTE, hopefully companies will start finding it profitable to make "unlocked" phones that work with the network.
Not like it would happen, but I'm waiting for a carrier to release a data only phone that uses GoogleVoice/VOIP for calls. And sadly, even if they even did everything right and verizon launched the phone, too many people would say it was crippled without reading the specs... such is the interwebs.

Nokias have SIP for VIOP calls...

I heard Skyfire can't be downloaded onto a locked Nokia E71x! I have Skyfire on my unlocked N95-3.
...
I wonder if by sometime around the 2nd half of 2012 when both AT&T and Verizon have 3G networks up and running, if unlocked LTE smartphones will work on either ATT or Vrzn, since they'll both be using 700mhz for 4G.
Oooh I wonder what sort of specs the Nokia N99 will have. Oooh do I wonder.
I'm really looking forward to when cellphones will be able to charge faster. That's what I'm looking forward to!

What do you mean by "MSC" in your post? "we all probably use wifi more than 3G anyway" not the case with me. I almost never use wifi on my N95. I love 3G! Sometimes I turn it off though to make my battery last longer.
...
WoW! $260/mo!!! And I thought my 3-line $160 was a lot.
How many lines do you have?

Actually I should have said I would not USE the iphone as a singular device. I did buy two of them to sell. Apple is all bout the "user experience" Not features and wants to control EVERYTHING....
No WMA,OGG,Vorbis or AVI files allowed...No flash on websites or the option. NO software allowed that is not available through iTunes....which is way DRM infected...Can't even change the battery out.. and I will tell you guys I got about 4 hours before I had to start rationing my use....Never had a phone I needed to worry about getting through a day of use.

I have to agree. The fact that my parents are in Maine and needed to use their friends phone to call home unless they decided to stand in the parking lot of the hotel they were staying in doesn't bode well for the fact that their service sucks. Thankfully I didn't make the switch when my contract ended a year and a half ago. I'm going to sit down with my parents and write down all of the people they contact and what service they have and convince its in their best interest to make the switch to the big V. Hey worse case scenario if they dont like it they can always cancel within 30 days.

Your kidding! Your an N95/N97 owner just like I am, well N95, not N97. I'm trying to get outta debt too much to be laying down the $700 for the N97. Besides a completly new version of Symbian is coming out Q1 next year anyway. I really wish Symbian was more widespread in the U.S.
