Is anyone a former ATT Iphone holder who switched to VZW? I would love a comparison. I was with VZW, went to ATT for the IPhone and am now thinking of switching back. Thanks!

I'm carrying them BOTH right now and have been for a couple days.

So far, the ONLY advantage ATT has is the talk-and-surf feature. Other than that, my side-by-side testing, in the real world and not comparing numbers on a bench....THAT IS THE ONLY advantage ATT has.

People look at me funny because I'll be launching apps/etc at the same time (Facebook, Weather Channel, App Store, USA Today....), and, on average....the VZW iPhone is faster/better.

Occasionally, the ATT iPhone will load a random page faster, but seat-of-the-pants...daily ownership....I'll finish porting ALL my lines over to VZW this week.

The kicker? All of the places the VZW iPhone works were the ATT iPhone is merely a brick in my pocket. Deep inside Target (you...

The clincher...even if it means giving up talk-and-surf...is where I spend MOST of my time. At work....and this was huge!!!

ATT iPhone = one tiny little bar
VXW iPhone = FULL FIVE BARS

Loading of apps:
App Store = VZW
USA Today = VZW
Weather Channel = VZW
Facebook = VZW
Cnet = VZW
Wavy (local news app) = VZW

And we're NOT talking some sort of close as far as times go....it is shockingly faster (VZW).

EVERY single iPhone user I have had at my desk has been completely and totaly blown away.

Talk-and-Surf is a GREAT feature.....but if you can't do one, or the other...or EITHER.....what good is it?

On paper, the ATT iPhone and ATT might be fa...

I switched to AT&T when the iphone 4G came out. Made a trip from Indiana to Texas, and there were stretches of an hour and a half or more that I could not make or receive calls. Made same trip after going back to VZW and had no call problems. Some pics sent to me while on AT&T were never received.

But....if your ATT iPhone HAD worked...you would have been able to talk AND surf at the same time!!

Yes....sarcasm. 🙂

VZW iPhone is the BEST of both worlds...its the cake, and we get to eat it too!!!
