I don't think that VZW sux AvgJoe...I was joking. I will be porting my number to VZW soon. 😉

And I really wish I the iPhone was with Verizon. I had Verizon since December of 06 and decided to switch to get the iPhone and I'm not satisfied with the service. The phone is AMAZING, but what good is a phone if the network it's on sucks?

thats why you should have never ported! lol

Just get the new BB Thunder, hopefully that will be a pretty cool email/internet device.

Thunder or Storm?

Its the thunder.

Well, I just really liked the iPhone. Plus, I just sold my old iPod to my cousin, so I needed a new one. And it's so attractive to have an iPod and a phone in one. You can't sync your iTunes with anything other than an iPod, so no other music phone is good for me. And I really have no interest in a BlackBerry.

I mean, I guess I could have gotten an iPod Touch and just upgraded to the LG Dare, the only other issue was that I roamed almost half of my time with Verizon. I know that Verizon doesn't really enforce the roaming issue, but I couldn't use any data features while roaming.

yeah I see your point.

I heard the new BB 9000 is compatible with itunes music, that would be a pretty sweet addition if its true!

If it was compatible with iTunes, that would be sweet! It's just, again, a BlackBerry seems a little much, especially for somebody like me. A lot of people look at it like: if you're not a business person, you shouldn't have a BlackBerry. But, if it has iTunes compatibility, who knows. Is it touch screen?

I mean, I really do miss Verizon's network and the CDMA network in general. I get so many distorted calls and dropped calls with AT&T. I just keep telling myself I have a cool phone, LOL. If I'm not at home, my phone works fine, I just live in the woods and GSM doesn't work good in low signal areas like CDMA does. And like I said before, I spent about 50-60% maybe more of my time off of Verizon's network, so it was kinda pointless to ev...

The BB 9000 is not a touch, but the thunder is.

Dont worry about the blackberry stigma, they have totally changed with phones like the curve and pearl. they arent just for business users anymore.

and the BB operating system is easy to grasp after you play around with it. It cant be any tougher than an iphone.

Okay. So the do you know if the Thunder will have any iTunes capabilities? I'm probably just hoping for too much.

I havent heard officially. It prolly wont sync directly with itunes, but hopefully it will read the m4a format of music which is what apples formats all of their music in. As long as it can read that, listening to itunes music should be pretty simple

Well that would be cool. The only things are: I don't think they would allow me to port my number back, and: my roaming issue. Here's a pic of where I live, right under where it says "Michigan": http://vzwmap.verizonwireless.com/output/CL5_ BROWNS2363248032123808.JPG?fuji
So, I'll be roaming most times unless I'm in Saginaw for school.

who are you roamin off of? Sprint?

Ok. So maybe it won't show up. But, if you type Caro, MI into the coverage viewer on Verizon's site, you can see what I'm saying.
