AT&T or Verizon after AllTel closes doors?

Currently with Altell and when they go away, dont know which carrier to go to. Dont really know about AT&T or Verizon as Ive never been with either of them before other than I hear Verizon has better coverage since they use a more standard service other than AT&T's GSM which to my knowledge is only used by them and I think Sprint.....

We're kinda eyein' Verizon, but I hear they disable the GPS on Blackberries unless you pay the 10 bucks a month for the VZ Navigator.....

I spose its not as much of an issue since we do plan to go with the Android phones eventually.

As it stands right now, we will be goin straight to AT&T when the merger is complete. Then we have to live up to the contracts we set with Alltel at the first of the year.

Just curious about pros and cons towards both providers......

 

The area we were in was bought out by AT&T so thats who we're goin to by default. Atleast we'll have a few months to try out AT&T and if we dont like'm, Verizon is probly were we'll end up.

Yeah, we're both definately lookin at the Android phones. I'm eyein' the Droid and the wife's eyein' the Samsung Facinate. I love my Blackberry, but I'm really likin the Android phones since they told us they were more designed for entertainment and for better web experience. Plus, Blackberry hasnt figured out how to put Flash Player on it and you need to pay extra for an app to view PDF files on'em. With Android phones, you dont need to and the Androids have way better apps.

I like the Iphone, but to me, all it is, is just a glorified Ipod that you can talk and text on with a web browser. Im not putting it down in anyway, but I have an Ipod with all my music on it; I dont need an Iphone to do the same thing. Besides, I kinda heard about Apple venturing out to Verizon about letting them have the Iphone as well, but I heard from a Verizon salesman that it probly wont happen because apparently, AT&T was the only wireless carrier that would accept Apple's expensive demands for contract percentages. I dunno, I guess things could change in the near future.

Yeah as I said, I'm really considering the Motorola Droid.... Most likely the one that doesnt have the slide-out keyboard but has the HD recording capability. Its kind of a tough descision on the Moto because after my failed luck with pretty much every Moto phone since the V-60 up to the Razor and the Q, Im not a big fan of Motorola. But, another cellphone rep I talked to said that mainly the reason for Motorola having crap phones was due to the fact that Moto made good hardware, but couldnt make software to save their lives and that nowthat Android takes care of the software portion that Moto is ok now so I spose we'll see.
