    iPhone pre-orders through Verizon began 12am PST. Anyone upgrade?

    I always said if the iPhone was available with Verizon I'd get it again! I took advantage of $50 off since I qualified for that "New every 2" upgrade since last month.

    Expected Delivery Date:
    02/10/2011

    I had the original iPhone when they first came out but canceled service after a few months because the service sucked donkey balls ... I thought is was a great EVERYTHING ELSE device ... just a shitty phone on AT&T.

    The other day I heard that Verizon cut it down from 30-day to a 14-day return policy ... so, I guess if I'm not excited about it in a week or two after it arrives - I'll just have to get the Droid2/Pro/X or whatever else!

    So, anyone else jumping in now that Verizon is carrying them?

              New phones are coming out pretty much every week or three these days.

              I'm waiting on Sprints announcement next for something new I heard about last month. If it's the next gen Blackberry I keep hearing rumors about, I'm likely going pick that up - or upgrade to an Android phone there too.

              Sprint is my main mobile carrier and Verizon has been my back-up for about 7 yrs.

                  I think it will be around July according to some sites, with the unveiling in may.

                      I always said that too - but not sure now whether to bother.
                      Can anyone tell me what would make Verizon's iPhone better than the Droid Incredible (which is what I have now)?

                          My iPhone 4 pays for itself every day (most profitable stills camera I have ever owned in over 30 years) but pretty much every new smartphone would be as hard working now I think.

                              It's pretty evenly split from what I hear from people regarding what they like and why.

                              For the past 2 years, since it was a backup phone - I have had an LG EnV on Verizon ... obviously not a smart phone. Just something my kids can always reach me on - or if my battery was dying ... or if I'm in a shitty service area that Sprint doesn't work well in.

                              I thought about getting the Droid when it came out but just never did. When I heard the iPhone was going to be available I figured I'd give it a shot again .. if i don't like it now, I'll return it and probably get one of the Droids.

                              I still use a BB as my main phone through Sprint. Battery life is good ... I use it all day on speaker ... and it's great for email/text. However, I really don't take advantage of it as a browser/web device when I'm out - other than email and Facebook. I figure I will way more with the iPhone ... surfing, check stats etc.

                                  Verizon - cant do simultaneous voice and data .... Weak if you ask me.

                                      Yeah - that's my only complaint ... then again it won't be my main phone so i can be on my BB and surf on the iPhone

                                              Makes sense - if you pull the trigger, let us know what you think

                                                  I'm coming from a "lesser" phone and I can't see why someone would "downgrade" ... so upgrade just made sense

                                                      Where the features are better? Put aside call dropping, reception issues..

                                                          I'm with Verizon and I have an Android. I have an Itouch and love it, but I can't stand the damn texting on it. I love my Android and how it has a slide out keyboard - makes texting easy. I'll stick with my Android.

                                                                      And since it's going to be my back-up phone I need the phone part to actually function ... which is what I hope will separate it on Verizon from AT&T. If not, I'm getting a Droid

                                                                                  Functionality wise, it works better than any other phone I've used. I personally hate at&t but put up with it until I see a phone worth switching to. Also if tons of people switch from at&t, the network might improve a lot!

                                                                                                  I'm waiting on Sprints announcement next for something new I heard about last month. If it's the next gen Blackberry I keep hearing rumors about, I'm likely going pick that up - or upgrade to an Android phone there too.

                                                                                                  Sprint is my main mobile carrier and Verizon has been my back-up for about 7 yrs.
                                                                                                  Sprints big announcement is that they are adding an additional 10.00 charge for all smartphones (not just 4g ones)

                                                                                                  The big selling point to me is that they give unlimited data.

Then I broke it out of jail, installed the Liberty ROM on it, turned it into a FREE wifi hotspot, personalized it in every way I wanted and did all the things that Verizon won't let you do...

                                                                                                          And I am very, very happy with my phone now.

I'm also curious to see if AT&T's network gets any better when so many people end up switching to Verizon. I hate AT&T so much it hurts but I'm going to be cautious until I hear some feedback...

I'm also curious to see if AT&T's network gets any better when so many people end up switching to Verizon. I hate AT&T so much it hurts but I'm going to be cautious until I hear some feedback...
