Spreading the joy
I had Verizon for years. Very good coverage, excellent service, but the
control they insist upon over apps and such makes Apple's app store
look like a Linux convention. I've read within these hallowed pages
speculation that Verizon was where Apple first tried to set the iPhone
but Verizon, with their typical bottom line arrogance couldn't come to
terms with the idea of a free app or a free download that they couldn't
tax or control. ATT uses the international standard GSM chips whereas
Verizon is the only carrier that doesn't. While it's rumored that both
will begin using the LTE technology in the 4G system, that's not on the
near horizon. I'm apparently in one of those markets where I've never
gotten a dropped call with ATT and 3G coverage is excellent, even in
suburban Indianapolis.
