Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
Well this is long overdue. Verizon misses out on a lot of potential rural users because their network just doesn't go there quite often. While this won't help me (I live in rural Northern California) it is a step in the right direction. Here's hoping they expand more into rural areas so we have other choices than AT&T.
This is actually very interesting for Vermont. Verizon has always had great coverage in the major cities, but disappointing coverage in most of the state. Unicel has always had great coverage, but they're local, so their nationwide plans were somewhat iffy. I would have expected them to be bought by AT&T giving them an immediate presence in Vermont. Instead all the Unicel customers will be converted over to CDMA, having to replace the hardware they have. If they add CDMA to all the existing towers that Unicel has we'll finally have decent coverage in Vermont!
