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!
“The HD2 is a magnificent monster. It is a hulking, intimidating, massive slab of a gadget. If you think the device looks big in photos, it's nothing compared to how it seems up close.”
