I don't use PDAnet, no. I have no reason too. My phone does everything I need a laptop to do.

I'm considering swapping my iPhone out for a Droid now, actually.

The iPhone is pretty cool, but it freezes up a lot on me (I'm on my 2nd one already) and you are limited to whatever apps Apple will allow you to have, which sucks balls.

The Verizon plans are cheaper than AT&T's too. For the exact same plan as i have with AT&T, I can save 8 dollars a month on VZW.

I just need to sell my iPhone and I'll have a Droid within 2 days.

Sean, look again. Verizon and AT&T have been the same for like 4 years now. Anytime one does something, the other does it too. The only difference is in corporate discounts, and they are usually within 2% anyway.

In my neck of the woods, Verizon has WAYY better coverage than ATT. From what I hear, it's like that in quite a few places as well.

I compared twice, and Verizon is 8 dollars a month cheaper for a Droid than AT&T is for the iPhone.

Got the Droid. Love it so far. Touch screen is amazing on it like you all said.

How much did you pay for it?

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 6:42 pm

200. Had to buy it through Verizon to have the warranty with them and whatever. So I said whatever and bought it.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 6:54 pm

Ouch. What a damn ripoff.

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 7:05 pm

No more then the iPhone. Not too bad considering I paid 150 for an env2 2 years ago.

Whatever. Worth it so far

I could get a Droid brand new right now for 20 bucks.

I know. But that is when signing a complete new contract. Plus you might not have a warranty through verizon

It seems Verizon has better coverage in rural areas compared to AT&T. That is at least what I see since I carry an AT&T phone and a Verizon phone all the time.

Just got an offer for 250 on my iPhone 3G, but it's listed on craigslist for 300... should I take it?

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 7:49 pm

I wouldn't.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 7:50 pm

Yeah I just emailed back that I'm pretty firm on 300.

I'm goofing around with the backflip for the night. Seems ok so far, but the blackberry really did so many things right, it's hard to get used to. The capability is great, but the stuff i use most often is taking longer to get to, and that makes me nuts.

Verizon is "supposed" to be getting the iphone sometime, but who knows when that will happen. If the droid is just as good I will just get it now.

Thanks

you do know that you can use an ATT iphone with verizon right? you wont have all the features but for the most part the iphone will work with verizon.. google jailbreak and yes this program works a x coworker of mine used it.

Post by **racer12306** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 9:16 pm

Yeah, it possible but that a good way to fuck yourself if you don't do it exactly right.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 9:23 pm

Actually if you have the newest software update (version 3.1.2 I think) you can't jailbreak the phone yet.

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 9:37 pm

That's cool and all, but I am curious to see how you're going to use a GSM phone on a CDMA network. That's like trying to use a CB to talk to airplanes.

Exactly. You cannot use an ATT iphone on verizon network. Iphone's use a sim card, whereas verizon phones do not.

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 9:41 pm

Exactly. People always say they use these phones on other networks. SIM cards don't work on CDMA phones. Plain and simple. Hacking is FTL. I wanna buy a phone and just use it, and buy "apps" and shit. Not dick with it to be cool or make it different.

I still make calls with my phone, though

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 9:46 pm

Well so far it's only been one night, but I feel like I will get my money's worth out of it.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 9:50 pm

Making calls with a phone? Who the fuck would want to do something like that?????

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 9:51 pm

I made a call on my gramma's Droid. Felt awkward. Playing on it made up for that weird feeling though
