Re: I'll wait for Verizon next time...

At first I thought my inelligbility to upgrade from an iPhone 3G to the 3GS was unfortunate; however, by having to wait, maybe the next iPhone I buy will be with Verizon.

At least in my area (western Massachusetts) Verizon seems to have MUCH better coverage than AT&T. I actually switched from Verizon to AT&T to have the iPhone, but maybe this time next year I'll be able to switch back. The world's best phone (IMHO) on the worlds best network.
In Western MA? I disagree(and yes, I live here). My AT&T phone has better coverage than most my friends' phones, including Verizon(though VZ is better in select regions of VT). Of course, it is not an iphone, which are known for reception issues(Google it, besides the fact I did try one out and confirmed what I read). AT&T can be short of data bandwidth for brief periods(and I agree they do need to fix this), but the important parts(calls and text) are 100% for me to this day. Of course, Apple can't be to blame for at least some of the issues, now can it fanbois(not referring to the person quoted)?
Different experiences in different areas. At least in my town, I rarely am able to get much signal inside of buildings with AT&T. My father also has an LG phone on AT&T's network and our reception seem to be pretty much in line.

My brother's Verizon phone, on the other hand, gets signal everywhere.

Most people in my very local area (my town) have the same experience with AT&T vs. Verizon on a wide variety of handsets.

I'm not discrediting your post in any way - I'm sure what you said is the case in your area. By in mine, Verizon has undoubtedly better coverage in my experience.

And even as an Apple "fanboy" (I know you did not call me that), I have to admit that I am very impressed by what Palm has done with the Pre. I'll be looking around when my contract expires with the iPhone. The Pre's ability to sync with iTunes means it would work seamlessly on my Mac... but we'll have to wait to see if it attracts app developers to create a third-party app store as compelling as that on the iPhone.
