New Phone - Droid or IPhone or....

---

It came to my attention last week and then again yesterday that I desperately need a new phone and, as such, I was wanting a little advice from you fine people.

I am currently with US Cellular because they were the only service provider around my home at the time I signed up. Now Verizon also services the area. I don't want to go with US Cellular again, they suck ass. My contract with US Cellular is up either at the end of this month or the end of next month, I think it's next month. I don't necessarily have to go with Verizon. At home you almost literally holler on the back door and can be heard on the other side of town. So that being the case while I would rather have service at home it's not a must.

So... Droid from Verizon (which does provide service around home), IPhone from AT&T (which offers no service around home), or something else. What are your thoughts good, bad or indifferent? Have you had experience with any of these phones or companies good, bad or indifferent? Is one company easier to deal with than the other? Pros and Cons? I've never been a real phone guy so your safe in assuming I know nothing about dealing with phone crap.

you know why I can not say, but it is in your PM's.

I haven't heard much about the Droid phone, but seems to be pretty popular right now. I have the LG Dare, and I really like it.. as long as you don't mind a touch screen.

If you want great coverage.. Verizon is the way to go. I've been with them from my first phone (15yrs?) and never had trouble. I don't know much about the Droid since it's so new.

if you want a toy, iPhoneif you want a tool, Blackberry

BTW scotty, I asked julie what you had asked me and she has no fucking clue, her best guess is to read the contract and see what its descriptions are because its nothing that is standard through out the industry.

Send me a PM as I have a few ideas for you; but can not tell the public!

ooooooo secret phone shit. Are you a spy or something?

I actually switched from AT&T to Verizon in November. I was with AT&T (then Cingular Wireless) since 2002. Over the years, AT&T's service became very poor and I experienced frequent dropped calls with them. I'm really happy with my Verizon experience. Phones with the Android software has also gotten really good reviews, so I would go that route.
