First of all I wouldn't go with Verizon.
For the price I like Sprint. Every couple years I get mad at Sprint and think I can get something better so I check everyone else's prices. And I always end up staying with Sprint.
The bottom line for me is to get same thing I get right now Verizon and ATT would be 50-60 dollars more a month.
These are a few things they offer VS the others:
1: The anytime minutes start at 7:00 (ATT has from 9:00 and is 10 extra to go from 7:00. Not sure about Verizon)
2: I get unlimited mobile to mobile (ANY mobile, not only Sprint). ATT and Verizon is only free mobile to mobile for their respective networks (IE ATT you get free mobile to mobile only with other ATT mobile phones).
3: Sure Sprint is charging now 10.00 extra a month for their smart phones (which is still cheaper if you add #1 above), but they don't limit the data you use. Verizon and ATT drop your speed if you go over 2GB (and with a 4G phone is pretty easy to go over 2GB)
I have a 1500 minutes plan with 4 phones and an air card and I pay 240.00 a month. With the mobile to ANY mobile I never use more than 600-800 minutes.
Now I know a lot of people complain about the Sprint coverage, but I never had problems.
No, I'm not a sprint salesman, just my opinion.
As far as the phone: The I Phone is nice, smooth, and very popular. But as any other Apple is very proprietary. From what I understood, you can't even change the battery without going to an Apple store. And last I heard it still doesn't run flash player (which I might be wrong, but a lot of applications on the net nowadays are flash player based)
Personally I like the Android, it's open ended, which means everyone can build applications for it, therefore the android applications available are growing exponentially.

I am looking into buying my first smart phone. I have been to the Verizon store to look over the different smart phones and get a idea on how they work.I believe it would take me a while to learn how to use the smart phone.
the Question: there is the I phone and the Droid both very similar but both are the same price. wondering if the members would chime in on what phone they use and which is better the Iphone or the Droid.
thank you all for your continued support
