I am considering getting an iPhone but my contract does not expire until September 2 (I'm nearly counting down the days) but I want to know which mobile service provider is best with the iPhone? I do know that Verizon provides better coverage but we do not have 3G but rather 'extended 3G/EVDO' which on my current 'smartphone' is crap and useless. I currently have an LG EnV3. I plan to sell the phone once I get set up on iPhone. A good friend of mine says she gets good date on her AT&T iPhone out here, but my brother says he has difficulty on his AT&T Android phone.
The reasons for me wanting an iPhone:
1. I can do things on the go more often such as checking email, facebook, online assignments at Uni (given I get to re-enroll this fall).
2. I can have all of my music stored on my phone instead of having to carry a seperate device (phone and iPod gets cumbersome - let's just roll it all onto one device and simplify)
3. I can easily upload photos on the go such as the huge house that was literally being moved through town two weeks ago - I would have loved to have gotten a pic but my phone just wasn't cooperating.
4. I can use it as a notepad to write down my time for when I am working with dogs. I'm currently having to do it the old-fashioned way - a small notepad in the glovebox and tally up the time on Thursday nights for payday on Friday.
5. I can better plan my Saturday nights by saving time checking out movie times over the phone rather than having to drive home and waste time on the computer when I could be getting cleaned up and not necessarily have to go to the late movie.
6. I love the barcode scanner app that tells you the best deals in town for the product you are looking at - the same goes for the gas buddy app.
7. If I can't locate where I am going (which is often) I can use google maps which are fairly accurate.
8. I would feel less like a cavewoman and more modern.
9. I could visit AD.com mobile more often.
10. because they're just damn cool. ha.
So what are your thoughts? Which is better AT&T or Verizon for the iPhone?
