Both.. In the end I switched because of the 4 because of the antenna problems, kept dropping calls on me. But I'm sure AT&T had a role in there as well..

Much happier with droid + verizon.

Yea, I am so tempted by the the iPhone on Sprint. Sprint has its problems but unlimited data attracts me.... especially with my netflix and porn watching habits...

I had a Sprint aircard, with unlimited data, and last year they sent me this poorly-written email (like an Indian wrote it) saying that I now had a 5GB cap.......But they got owned, they couldn't renig the original terms. I called them and they initially tried to deny sending the email, but said I had to accept the 5GB limit anyway. I said I would terminate if they did, so they left me alone. But a few months later I switched to Verizon anyway Poor customer service all the way around. Verizon is way faster than Sprint on both 3G or 4G. That is a fact.

Truth. You get what you pay for. I happily pay the minimal premium for Verizon coverage and service. Been with Verizon for about the last 14 years (from back when they were Airtouch Cellular) with a very short stint w/ AT&T. 1 month of AT&T and I happily paid the cancellation fees to go back to Verizon - AT&T sucked that hard.

Cancellation fees should be illegal anyway. Account setup is 100% automated, there is no labor involved unless you have it done in one of their stores.

They're only there to make up for the discount on the hardware. You get a $99 phone that cost them around $400, they want to make sure you stick around so they can make up that sunk cost in monthly service fees.

Then why aren't the plans cheaper if you buy a phone that's not unsubsidized? If I bought an unsubsidized phone through Verizon, the cost of my plan wouldn't be lowered. I think T-Mobile was the only one who had plans that reflected whether you got a discounted phone or not, and they may have dropped that too.

My sister has a Razr Maxx, and I like it a lot. It has some of the best build quality i've seen in the android market, and seems to be fast, stable, and reliable. When I got my iPhone it was between the Razr Maxx and the 4S.
