UPDATE: (Of extra interest to Quicksilver)

I got home tonight from Verizon with two iPhones. I have in. Loving it so far. I'm paying more than I did with Sprint but the difference won't be too much if I factor in what Sprint is do by adding $10 per phone of 4G service even if my area doesn't have 4G. Add Sprint's hugely disappointing direction with the Kyocera Echo and I saw no future with Sprint. I will have to eat a pretty big ETF since I have two lines but that's the price of being cool.

Verizon: 2

Sprint: 0

Me: Lots of money out of pocket so -10

Quicksilver will become famous soon enoughQuicksilver will become famous soon enough
Glad your please with the device

I'm so behind the times. Still doing the 3G thing and man I don't know what has happened but mine is sooooo slow. I'm hoping that when I do make the leap there will be some serious changes for the better. Did you notice any better call reception in areas where you may have had trouble in the past?

He had an amazing grandfathered contract

That was going to be my question as well. The iPhone 3G runs like total crap on the latest Apple iOS, whereas the 3GS and 4 both run on it very nicely.

Yes, I have had a couple of good employee price plans with Sprint. When the iPhone first dropped on AT&T I went in to compare plans and the guy there said there was no way they could even come close to what I was getting with Sprint. The guy at Verizon last night even said they couldn't compete with it.

My coverage was good with Sprint; not perfect but way better than AT&T. I gave in for the iPhone and as I stated, Sprint is really dropping the ball on handsets. They were on the cutting edge for a while with a great selection of smart phones but haven't stepped up. Plus, if I wanted to upgrade to something like the Evo from my older Android handset Sprint was going to add that $10 surcharge for 4G even though there is zero 4G in my area.

So far, we're loving our iPhones. I was talking to SuperGreg a few minutes ago and I told him that while I have always had issues with my HTC handsets (all 6 of them), I have never heard anyone complain about iPhones, whether the original or the 4. Apple is pretty tough to beat.
