I also got a free M-cell from AT&T. Five bars everywhere in the house; it's great.

Closest alternative to what you want might be www.gazelle.com
They'll give you cash for your older item & then you could buy a different item.

Thing is one will love X, another will hate X, one will love Y another
will hate Y and so on. These type of discussions have been going on
a long time and it ALL depends on YOUR wants and YOUR use.
If you want the best coverage, its Verizon, if you want unlimited everything
for cheap its Sprint and so on.

Not that I'm upgrading now, but I'm glad I stuck with AT&T. Verizon does have better coverage which I had for six years, but I had an experience where the data and voice was very useful. My debit card got declined while I was making a big purchase at Home Depot. I had to call the bank and use their website at the same time to get the error fixed. They didn't like my recent purchase history and thought they were doing me a favor by locking my account. I had to quote dollar amounts from my bank's website for verification. All done from Home Depot. I was able to complete my large purchase and didn't have to return "later". That dual functionality was superb!

Subject: [apple-iphone] What's your experience?
Now that we are being given even more choices of carriers for the 4S I am seeking input from those who have opted for CDMA vs GSM.
Do you miss or regret losing simultaneous data and voice? Was leaving this behind worth the more reliable coverage offered by Verizon? Are you considering going back to AT&T?
I'm thinking of those commercials when the 4 was launched and wordering if reality matches what was portrayed there.
Thanks for your responses,
Barry

I've seen (for AT&T at least) say that they will throttle downloads when a user passes into the "top 5%" of users, but I've never seen a GB number attached to that.
Do you have a reference URL for that, Rich?

Seems to me that you got ripped off. The iPhone 4 is $99 once the 4S
is released.
