iPhone

That said, I love love love my iPhone and am less than thrilled with AT&T

I feel the same way. I would love to have my iPhone with Verizon.

I just hope it's before my next renewal window. I got a new phone ("new every 2") in Dec. and it would have been an iPhone, were that available at Verizon. I have a Samsung Alias 2...I like it, but DH got the HTC Eris/Droid...I really like it. Not as much as I would like an iPhone, but I am kind of kicking myself for not going the smartphone route, too.

We got Droid phones, because HTC sponsors a cycling team!

I know people that have the Iphone and love it. Where I work we get an 20% discount with AT&T and Sprint and 8% with Verizon, I've had Verizon for 10 years. I was thinking about a Motorola Droid, heard there are problems with the HTC Droid. The only beef I have with Verizon lately is they've changed their plans and all of the smartphones/blackberry require the addition of a data plan at $29.99 a month and all of their 3g multimedia phones the $9.99 a month data plan. So unless I get just a simple plain phone, I'm charged extra.

I was waiting around to trade in my Blackberry for the Iphone with Verizon, but I just couldn't find out enough information to make it worth the wait. So....I got a Motorola Droid last Wednesday (they gave it to me on new every 2, but I talked them into giving it to me 4 days early).

Both of my adult sons have Iphones and love them, but I am learning to LOVE my Droid, too. The big difference that my one Geek Squad son likes about it is it has true navigation, that you don't have to pay a monthly fee for. I've been using it for 4 days in Boulder and it works GREAT. Better than the Magellan GPS I borrowed from my mom last September.

The two things I don't like about the Droid is the @ key right below the C key, which I always touch on accident. And the track pad is on the right side and I'm right handed, so if I use the physical keyboard, I have to stretch my thumb WAAAAAY over there to get the keys. I don't like that. Most of my complaints are just learning curve stuff. So far there has been nothing I hate about it.

Both of my sons hate AT&T, too. I think Verizon has done a fine job for me since they bought my carrier, Alltel.

The more time I spend with my iPod Touch, the more I am convinced that the best thing for me is to stick with a regular phone + iPod.

I already have AT+T, and I might eventually switch to an iPhone... maybe in 4 or 5 years. Meanwhile I've heard of wi-fi repeaters for iPod, which is the direction I might go since they are so much cheaper than the full data plan from AT+T, and they work with laptops as well.

I really don't do that much exciting stuff on either the iPod or the phone.

Verizon has been very bad to me, which is why I switched to AT+T.

Thx so much for those responses! Well, sounds like you have heard the same things I have... and I learned a few things I did not know. I would also agree about the pros and cons posted. Well, maybe I will try and hold out a bit longer *sigh*...it's like waiting for cell phone x-mas.
