Apples

the android phones that are out and coming soon, there are phones
that will
offer good choices.
I have read that the big problem at Verizon was that they did not
anticipate how much more traffic would be generated by iPhones and
they have been playing catch up ever since.
I hear that Verizon's latest buildout has significantly improved
things in some areas that previously had poor service.
What makes you think that ATT will hot now suffer the same capacity
problems that Verizon experienced? I bet that if the Driod turns out
to be anywhere near as successful as the iPhone then ATT will start to
suffer from the same capacity problems.
Also, Verizon is laughing all the way to the bank. A significant
portion of their revenues are attributed to the iPhone. They have the
cash and big incentive to continue to build out.
