Comments on: AT&T vs. Verizon With a Splash of Apple http://menro.me/2009/12/06/att-vs-verizon-with-a-splash-of-apple/ because I need answers Thu, 29 Apr 2010 16:02:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Bruce http://menro.me/2009/12/06/att-vs-verizon-with-a-splash-of-apple/#comment-157 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 07:24:37 +0000 http://menro.me/?p=856#comment-157 I think the more telling stat will be to ask the same question in another 6 months — that’ll tell you if the tech crowd is genuinely making a switch or just testing out something new. Droid’s not the iPhone alternative, nexus one starts to get you there, but there’s still a couple of levels of refinement to go. The people that are generally complaining about the iPhone are more often than not complaining about AT&T. Once the exclusive contract is up with AT&T, then it’ll be a more interesting playing field.

On the flipside, it’s nice to finally see some real competition to the iPhone.

I am a mac guy and the phone was amazing so i made the switch and it has been the most painful 2 years of my life. I am constantly apologizing for my phone it’s horrible. I went with my brother to buy a new android phone (instead of the iphone just to avoid AT&T) and I was blown away.

I will be going back to Verizon as soon as possible. Verizon’s 4G that is coming out soon will probably be the nail in the coffin. People on a tight budget will go with with t-mobile and anyone who wants a phone that is both cool and functional will go to Verizon.

I can’t recall a similarly ubiquitous outpouring of criticism about a single company and their service, and yet, the company continues to thumb their noses at subscribers by denying the problem and continuing to staff their retail outlets with snobbish people with absolutely no connection to the success or failure of the business.

It’s as if by virtue of selling the iPhone, they’ve all become little versions of Steve Jobs – but without the skills or charisma or success.

Now with Android phones a real contender and even better than the iPhone, a LOT of people will be jumping aboard the Verizon smartphone train, and even more jumping ship from the iPhone on AT&T to Android on Verizon.
