Jets Babe Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I have Verizon now...I love it. I've had it for years. My contract is up and is due for an extension in March.

war ensemble Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Totally depends on the coverage in your area and if you can make do without a physical keyboard. If ATT is fine and you can make do with a soft keyboard, then if you can afford it I'd suggest the iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 i work at a cell phone company...all day i hear people bitching to me about how crappy Blackberry's are, how the service doesn't work half the time, how the phones delete contacts and texts, and call-logs randomly, and that we tricked them into buying them by making the phones so cheap (well, DUH) but i don't know what i'm talking about so who cares, right?

anskyruben Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I have an Iphone. I have not had any of those issues, nor anyone I know with one. My issues are with AT&T because they have poor coverage in my area. You don't know what you're talking about . You work at a complaint center so of course all you will hear are complaints. I wouldn't expect someone like you to have use for a smart phone anyway. In life, Kloogy- wins Blackflop - not so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 i work with smart phones, i HAVE TO know how to use them. and you are correct, i don't "Need" a smartphone. i have a computer for my internet (which i prefer to a small cellphone), a TV for my shows, a car w/ a 6 disc CD changer and nice subs for my music and a much cheaper phone for my calls, superior in receptioin. never had an issue with Nokia. no expensive data plan either. seeing how i'm about to graduate college who needs all that fancy crap? maybe a 13 year old girl. i know you were just trying to insult me with that statement, but it failed. Unlike you Mr. Kloogy, i've never been banned from Jetnation btw. another score for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anskyruben Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Wait til you get a real job someday , you know, where you have to pass a drug test ? You may have to do something else besides answer a phone to make a living. You might need a device that allows you to multi task. Then again, I really don't see that kind of future for you. I always get a kick out of kids about to "graduate" who think they know what real life is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theinlawjosie Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hahahaha, this is an entertaining thread, I also work for a cell phone company Blackout; you can tell your customers that their blackberry's are deleting messages and call logs because of a new application running on versions 4.2 and later. It's called Low Memory Manager and if they go to blackberry's web site they can find a lot of ways to remedy that problem, or you could learn about it and actually show them how. Personally I wouldn't go with att for an iphone if you love your Verizon service.....the iPhone isn't THAT spectacular.......I have heard the touch click screen on the Blackberry Storm takes some getting used to, but I would actually prefer one over an iphone....I respectfully disagree with Blackout when it comes to Blackberry's, I find most of my customer's love their Blackberry's they just don't understand how to use them.

war ensemble Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 That's what I have heard. It's not going to happen until, at the very least, 2010. Apple extended their exclusivity deal with ATT for another year after AT&T offered to pay Apple an upfront subsidy on every iPhone sold, instead of a percentage cut from all contracts according to USA Today. If there was no extension, the exclusivity deal would've ended by now. So JB, unless you're waiting another year, I suggest picking one or the other. You can always get a one-year contract for now and then switch later--if the deal actually ends. They might just keep extending it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
