    RAF, May I also welcome you to the club. RAF and I tested out Facetime last night and for the most part, it worked well. He was on WiFi and I was on a jailbroken iPhone with my 3G connection and it worked quite good except for an abrupt disconnect caused by the fact I was at...

    Ted, I'm sorry. Typo. Yes, Verizon rated more reliable but 40% slower in data speed than AT&T.

    From the early reviews I have been reading, the AT&T network seems to be rated more reliable but data speeds are 40% faster on the AT&T network. I can sort of back up that claim. I have a PC air card that I use for my notebook via Verizon. It's very slow compared to tethering off...

    Man, Hard to figure out what the average consumer will see as important factors when deciding to purchase the iPhone 4. When you see my friend RAF saying he'll buy both the $300 and $600 versions, you begin to wonder how far some will go compared to others who will be happy...

    RAF, Was looking forward to reading your response as I know that you have been talking to me about iPhone 4 and Verizon for years. Interesting, since you and I share the same habits of buying new gadgets and wanting the best of the best that you are opting to purchase the...

    I suppose Consumer Reports is still hung up on the antenna issue. But you know what? I am not. From personal experience I can tell you that without the case there are major antenna issues with the iPhone 4 from AT&T. With the addition of the case, those issues are no more...

    Actually, I believe, once Apple issued the cases to iPhone 4 customers last Summer CR gave the iPhone 4 their approval. Now it seems they are hung up on the iPhone for other reasons. No, I don't entirely agree with CR's take on the iPhone -- particularly the jab at its screen size and...

    Wait a sec... Consumer Reports was SPOT ON. The iPhone 4 had antenna issues. Some may not think so, but I had them and reported it here. All Consumer Reports was saying was that until they address the antenna issue that they were not recommending the phone. They did the right...

    See, it's a downgrade. Plus, from what I understand, the CDMA phones are harder to jailbreak. I can't have an iPhone that cannot be jailbroken.

    What's sad is that there really is no incentive for AT&T users to make the switch. Better coverage might be the clincher, but I don't generally have the problems others are. Verizon did not announce a limitless data plan. Verizon did not address the inability to have voice and...
