I’d rather have a slightly slower network than a network that doesn’t connect at all in many many spots around the country. I have field staff all over the US and just finished migrating everyone to Verizon data cards because the AT&T connection was terrible in places in NJ, etc.

I love my Sprint plan. $80/month (I have the EVO so I have to pay that special fee for data) and I get unlimited EVERYTHING and 450 minutes (only 20 of which I actually use).

Yes. Verizon = AT&T when it comes to pricing. Maybe a little more. T-Mobile and Sprint are basically identical in terms of price. That’s why I’m on sprint. Biggest bang for the buck. I do a lot of traveling and always have coverage or can roam (which I don’t get charged for). But for $80, I get what I’d be paying $100 or more for on Verizon.

Verizon has tiered as well. At least on their data cards. 3GB or 5GB.

I prefer Android myself, but I can’t slam the iPhone. It IS a good phone, although far less techy than an Android phone.
