Seems like the other poster was being reasonable. He/she finds Verizon to be good in the areas of use that matter to them, whereas Nextel has lesser coverage there. That's a legitimate reason to stick with VZ. None of them have perfect coverage and they all have their strong & weak points. It IS a free country, afterall.

I've found Nextel to be superior for my needs and in my area, so I'm loyal to Nextel. What I don't like abour Verizon is their slimy business tactics, so I stay away from VZ; wouldn't touch VZ with a ten-foot pole. But the other poster has a right to choose VZ if that service suits them best (and it DOES keep them off the Nextel network;)

Name-calling is rarely helpful, and if indeed you are dealing from a position of strength, it is not necessary. Not to mention, name-calling actually weakens your own position.

Just my 2 cents.
