I am not sure what you mean, but unless you have a "jailbroken" iphone its one of the most locked down devices in history. They give you the illusion that its open because you can buy apps, but thats really just a (very good!) marketing ploy. I must be honest however, all future phones will need to have a marketplace of sorts now that its been introduced. If apple allowed any apps (as the Google phone apparently will) then I would agree that the iphone is 'open', but they dont.

And I'm not sorry -- I find the iPhone to be the perfect device for my needs -- but I really did like Verizon's network coverage and quality better.

If Verizon starts offering the iPhone after AT&T's exclusivity expires, I may switch back -- although naturally I'll have to get a CDMA version of the device.

Verizon's billing (particularly in regards to the customer account management area on the Web) and support was vastly inferior to what I now have with AT&T, though, in my admittedly limited experience.
I'm not tied to the iphone, just the 'open' features. It simply is the better phone for me on the market by a wide margin.

I switched from Verizon, I felt that they gave me the better coverage, but their prices are pretty terrible (company as a whole). I'd switch back if they had something similar to the iphone,or the iphone itself.

In general, cell phone companies rank right up their with meter maids in my ranking of dislike.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-I-Left-Verizon-for-the-iPhone-21314084 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 13:30:00 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/I-Left-Verizon-for-the-iPhone-21313674
