    Lets see how many Droid users switch to this on VZ network. if they did a trade in program for ATT customers with 3GS, I would consider.

    I won't be hopping on board until I can access data and be on the phone at the same time. Which means I'll be waiting until the LTE version of the verizon iPhone.

    It is a limitation of the CDMA network Verizon uses. When Apple put a CDMA chip in the phone, it killed off that functionality(phone and data at the same time) that it had in the GSM AT&T network.

    CDMA has the capability of voice and data at the same time. The carriers choose to not have it on the network because it strains the network too much, one of the biggest issues with at&t.

    How many people do that on a regular basis, anyway? I'm talking about daily. I'm willing to bet not too many. It's just a feature.

    I wouldn't say I do it daily. But for the times I do it, it's really important to me.

    Granted, I'm no phone junkie (I generally keep a phone for the two year contract and then upgrade), but Apple/Verizon dragging their feet on this has given time to secure a special spot in my heart for Android. I'm not saying I won't give whatever version of Iphone is around a year and a half from now a look, but Droid is already going to have a head start in my book.

    No, I <3 the AMOLED on the Fascinate. But I'll want something else once the 1 year contract is up :)
