We have a relative in Central Fla. with AT+T and his coverage is not very good in that particular area.
We have Verizon and coverage has been good in many places.
To be honest, I don't care for the costs of either plan (in the end). Another realtive has what originally was considered a "cheap" plan. But, truthfully, she has been getting good service, has no contract and financially seems to be getting a better deal overall.
I recently got an iphone after having a Blackberry for a long time. It has taken me a long time to get adjusted.
Generally, I really like the iphone...easy to use...creative features...lots of apps. However, the scrolling for numbers takes getting accustomed to and is not convenient. You have favorites, etc., but my BB had one touch dialing that was personally easier for me.
As time passes...I think I like it more and more though and would recommend it.
