Besides, WIFI is fater and better for streaming videos anyways.
Yeah thats what I do (Stream hella videos). But see why would I stream videos on my phone is im using WiFi when I own a laptop which will be quick overall. See If im in a WiFi area, 90% im at home and I would just use my computer then.

And the thing that makes the Droid better than the iPhone in another way is the Droid runs Java and the iPhone doesn't that means half the sites I get on are useless for the iPhone.

Proof of 5GB?


And any website that is too lazy to do a mobile version of their website isn't worth going too. They need to catch up to the times.

Chances are I see ATT changing the plans once they start getting people complaining or seeing people cap easily so who knows.
Sprint has never had a cap.

the more and more verizon keeps screwing me over, the better att and the iphone 4 keeps looking. I have figured it up and i would be saving money per month to switch over. I would be a first time iphone buyer, but a few of my friends have them and they are awesome.

Hahaha I hated At&t for service and I have lived in Texas major cities ever since I moved here. My parents just switch to Verizon b/c my dad got so fed up with the service.

HTC EVO here, badass phone. 4G is fast as *****. Camera is 8MP, takes 720P video, wifihotspot, Micro HDMI output for showing ur own movies on flat panel; eat ur heart out iphone. Droid OS rocks.

Downside: $120 monthly bill to be able to operate the phone as intended. And HTC = No battery life.

I don't get why people can be or get upset over camera MP on a CELL PHONE. You want a good camera, buy a REAL camera...lol

Besides, MP means basically nothing when it comes to picture quality.

My family, even most my friends are on AT&T and we have NEVER had any service issues and I go all over DFW and even out of DFW. Every provider has there own dead spots all over the country, none of them are better then the other in that department I don't care what anyone says. We have been with AT&T since 2002 (back when it was Cingular).

Yes I do know that MP really don't matter all that much. But there was a thing on Cnet on the cameras and the Incredible and Evo both took better photos than the new iPhone. And when I do pay the amount of money I do for a phone, I want it to have the best of everything. But im sorry I don't carry around my camera all the time like a ASIAN TOURIST. One of the biggest things I hate is when people post photos up of cars they saw or pictures for help and the camera quality is really shitty b/c they only had there phone on them. But for the service part at&t has the worst customer service thats the main reason I left them. And for dead spots Verizon has the least so I would say they are the best.
