Default verizon wireless users.....

I need some good ole' feedback from yall about verizon wireless. I have had cingular/att for about 8 or 9 years now, and me and the wife are thinking about swiching to verizon. I really like their phones, and people I know like them. Att has been dropping calls and acting weird here lately. My wife wants the blackberry storm, and I just want one with a qwerty keyboard. phone feedback is usefull too.
thanks for the info

Ive had verizon for 3 years now....same phone...Motorola E815 with no complaints. For some reason I drop a lot of calls with my friend who has Alltell, but other than that the service is flawless.

It's every 2 years I think you upgrade, they kept badgering me to upgrade but I'm fine with my phone. I'm not techy when it comes to phones....I don't text either.

att wants $325 to get out of our contract, so she may get verizon for now and I may wait for the contract to die. are there anymore of the "techy" phones that are nice beside the storm? I do not want the same phone as my wife.

Default Att vs verizon

Well I just left verizon for ATT. My phone really needs the Iphone for her job. Verizon I have no complaints with them its $175 to get out of your contract or $75 if you go in an actual verizon store. I never lost signal or dropped a call with them. My wife I phone drops calls all the time. Thats the reason we left cingular before. More bars in more places my ace. So with them I have no complaints. As for ATT i love my Iphone that about all I can say.Oh and 18-20monts on upgrade depending on which one of you is the primary on the account.
