I am looking more towards a HTC phone with the Google Android platform. Open source FTW!

Is AT&T really that bad? I'm not too happy with my current provider, and $199 is an awfully tempting price!

Its all about where your located. Verizon in my area sucks balls, but its great for my cousins in Michigan. I have AT&T and love them. Everyone here complains about Verizon and praises AT&T. Nextel is a hit and miss here too. My uncle had a Nextel and when his contract ended, he went AT&T and is very satisfied with it.
Again, its all on where you live. Quote:

Wounder how long until these are available on O2 in the UK. The only thing at the moment is the initial sum you have to pay plus quite a hefty contract for 18 months or so. The tariffs only seem to be taylored to people with big mouths rather than active fingers.
Still its nice to see they've updated it to current generation specs.

i have both verizon and at&t (voyaguer on verizon and iphone/razr on at&t) theres not much of a difference really, i've dealt with at&t/cingular cust. service a lot and usually gotten what i wanted from them, usually after getting into a fight with them, haven't really dealt with verizon yet, but the service from both is about the same price and speed

I have Verizon and hate it and I live in the greater Seattle WA area. It gets good reception usually but the plans are expensive and phone choices limited. I'm switching to the iPhone and AT&T in August when my plan ends.

I'm just curious, what is "Assisted-GPS"? Is it somehow less functional than regular GPS. My Samsung M610 from Sprint has GPS and it works great with Mobile Gmaps and Mobile Google.

you're accusing him of trolling because of that? What's the definition of trolling then? I thought it's flame baiting and trying to cause trouble? I think you may be the one trolling.
