I have yet to see a Verizon phone that doesn't suck royally. I have no good expections for this one.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there
Our species really annoys me.
Verizon's coverage is overrated... They may have the most towers overall, but doesn't mean they're better. Especially for Broadband users... Bandwidth gets RAPED. East Coast is probably the best place for Verizon Customers. Everywhere else.... 50/50 imo.
They may or may not have as good of coverage as Verizon, but their customer service is absolutely amazing.

A typical BlackBerry uses about 15 times more bandwidth-time for the same amount of data as the next worst PDA. That does not, by any stretch of the imagination, mean that their coverage elsewhere is sub-par. They didn't get to where they are by having poor coverage. They simply have more capacity, and no amount of idle speculation can change that.

And as far as Blackberry Bandwidth.. I wouldn't say it's because they take 15x more... I'd say it's because that area is more densely populated...

But Midwest and West cost it's still divided between the major carriers.
VZW is the only way to go in rural, semi-rural areas (i.e. where I live). Sure we have AT&T coverage (only got that a couple yrs ago), but if you head to more rural areas of my state you're screwed (even w/VZW sometimes).
Free? Even with the $50 discount for the new every 2 refresh, it's still $150.
