    I swear, its like its opposite day at AT&T: You want service turned on? We'll turn it off! You need a credit? let's make it a charge!

    it is a shame as the cellular service is great on the heed or off. we have a house in big canoe and I get great reception anywhere up there. My bb is not 3g so I really have not been affected or maybe I have, it is slow as crap.

    All I know is that Verizon service is non-existant in a 20 mile radius around my house. You may get one bar here and there but it sucks. However AT&T signal is full bars everywhere.

    Guess it depends on where you live......

    Only because the other carriers don't target rural america as much as AT&T does.

    that's NOT the wireless side, that's landline/fios/etc.

    Two different things.

    Landline and Wireless are only the same on AT&T. At least, they spend the money like it is within the same business unit :)

    nicad has one and from what I've seen, he has zero touchscreen issues.

    the official 2.1 droid update hits tomorrow!

    Won't be getting it... I prefer to stay rooted and wait for the hackers to pull any cool new features in their own updates....

    All AT&T traffic will share a common backbone wireless and wireline soon. My question is what is google planning on doing with all the dark fiber they've purchased over the last few years?

    That makes no sense, 65% of all mobile data is through IPhone's OS, which runs only on AT&T.. something is screwy.

    Nope. I got burned from a seller but Ebay gave me a FULL refund. I bought a known working Apple from a co-worker and I'm loving it ;)

    So HA! And I don't have to pay anything extra since I work for the company that provides my phone! HA again!

    I'm finally considering getting into a SmartPhone, so I was hoping one of y'all can recommend the best candidate from the Verizon lineup. The primary reasons for getting a smartphone are to have access to work email (via the web), store/have access to media files while travelling, and to get apps that I'm sure I'm not aware of yet that I'll "need". I'm not a texter by any means (or at least not now) so I don't think I need anything with a formal keyboard and I'm not a tech-geek by any means.

    I'm a current Verizon customer, have a corporate discount on a service plan and am due for a new phone. Suggestions? Is the Incredible what I should be after?

    The incredible but I dont know if it will work with exchange servers. I know the older android OS did not support it...or at least that is what we were told by our corporate IS group.

    I would get the Incredible... Droid is still a great option as well.. but if you don't need a physical keyboard, there is no reason not to go with the latest and greatest...

    I've only had like 4 dropped calls all 10 yrs of having an AT&T phone and that was because I lost signal in the mountains of NC.
