    I believe wha tI actually experienced. At&t's coverage is not good and in densely populated urban area's the iphones are sucking up so much network I can't stand it.

    Anything Android puts the iPhone to shame. Does anyone else remember when the iPhone didn't have 3g and couldnt get picture mail? How about they just started getting multitasking?

    The Incredible is a good phone but try to get one. They have been back ordered since may. I ended up getting the Droid X and I like it. Not sure it's worth the $30 data plan since I already have a data card, but the phone rocks. Puts my iphone 3GS that I had for a month to shame.

    The main reason it sold so few was because you had to pay full price($549) and it was initially available only through Google. Tmobile started carrying it but I don't think they every subsidised it.

    Same here. If you go get google voice you can cut your calling plan to minimal and it makes the data plan more worth it.

    What world are you living in? $600 is a month's worth of groceries... why spend $600 on a freakin phone when you can go buy a $200 phone and talk on it just as well... jeesz, some folks really like to spend money.:biggrin_25526:

    It's the awesomeness of being single. $200 is a grocery bill for a month. You should see what I spend on the horse a month.
