HTC Touch Pro 2 please, Verizon.

Oh, and maybe don't @#*@ the insides up on this one.
Or the keypad.

Once Verizon, ATT, and T-Mobile are all on LTE then all the Phones on LTE should work on all 3 networks so I look forward to that day.

The extra "know" at the end is redundant.

1. Sprint has no EVDO roaming agreements with VZW, as mentioned above. So sorry, no accurate knowledge brownie points given there, either.
2. I can say the same thing about VZW not covering certain areas that Sprint does. Prime example - the entire U.S. Virgin Islands. VZW doesn't even have extended coverage there, it's non-partner roaming on guess who? Starts with an S, ends with a T.
3. If you really did "know alot more then" us, you would be smart enough to be a Sprint subscriber with your phone set to roam only, paying cheaper monthly rates with no roaming charges on your beloved VZW network. - Just saying...

I do feel that the first company to fully initiate, in all phones, either 4G or LTE will definitely also sway my cell phone provider decisions.]]>Apr 17th 2009 6:54AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizon-chief-talks-lte-iphones-hates-on-rival-i-dont-know-w/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/04/16/verizon-chief-talks-lte-iphones-hates-on-rival-i-dont-know-w/
And even if VZW does not renew, Sprint has coverage in all 100 major Metro Cities in the US. That is more than enough to keep going and rolling out 4G technology.

The iPhone is not going anywhere. It's staying with AT&T. I don't like the iphone but can't see AT&T letting Apple go. They will probably give in to whatever Apple is asking. Apple has the leverage and by the sales numbers, Apple will get their deal.

The truth is that coverage depends on your proximity to a tower. Any carrier can have bad coverage. Despite what Verizon says (and I am a former employee), their coverage isn't perfect everywhere. I can say that Verizon locks down, uses non-compatible proprietary technology, and is the most expensive carrier for what you get. Personally, I rarely use customer service anyway so I would prefer not to pay for someone sitting in the call center. I prefer the actual cellular and data services.
