I just looked at this thread and laughed...I had forgotten about it completely and haven't posted in this thread or anywhere else on this board for quite some time. At the time of my posts in this thread I was on a shared plan with AT&T. Due to events that have taken place between now and then I had to get a contract/phone plan for just myself. After shopping around, I found that for what i was looking for it was roughly the same price no matter wich carrier it was with give or take $10-20. Keep in mind this isnt the case all the time but I was looking for unlimited minutes, texts, and data and a nice smart phone because I use my phones like my laptop and am realistically using it one way or another more then half of my day/night. Because of my bad credit, etc. AT&T wanted a $150 deposit that was refundable after a year (the shared plan I was on was not under my name/ss#). I have to swallow my pride a little to tell you all this and I know that Anytime is going to love it but I went with Verizon and got myself the Droid 2. While it has taken me some time to get adjusted to it, I have been completely happy with the phone itself. When I compare it to an iphone there are things about each phone that I like and dislike compared to the other. If/when Verizon gets the iphones, which I understand will be in the near future, I fully plan on getting one even if I have to pay full price on it. If their available I will not be waiting for a year or two when my upgrade is available, ill just sell my droid and pay whatever for it. I have liked the droid 2, but if it wasn't for the deposit that AT&T wanted from me I would have gone with them.....for the simple fact that they have iphones.
I saw it mentioned on here, but I was surprised that AT&T does not have unlimited data plans at all. I have no clue what I use and if I use less them 2MB or whatever their plan is then it wouldn't be a problem but I have a feeling that with the amount of time I spend on the internet and streaming radio etc. That I probably use more. The salesman for them told me that it was pretty hard to use more then 2MB a month unless someone was streaming videos on youtube for a couple hours everyday or something.......does anyone know if that is correct? I am interested how much internet data, or whatever its called, the average person or most people with a smart phone use and if its more then 2MB there is going to be a lot of people upset with AT&T's data plans.
When I was picking out a phone I was choosing between the Droid 2 and the Droid X. I have a good friend who I used to be on the shared plan with through AT&T and a few months ago when we had to find a new carrier she got the Droid 2 and has loved it so talking to her and knowing she went from an iphone to that phone and liked it I was definetly interested. She loved having the option to use the keyboard if she didn't want to use the screen keyboard. The Droid X was $50 more but that wasn't enough to really affect my decision. I ended up getting the Droid 2 but I am kinda mad I didn't get the Droid X and I believe I have a couple more days I can return it and switch for the Droid X within my 30 day from purchase time frame. The weird thing is that the salesmen was pushing the droid 2 on me and said that the droid x is only better then the droid 2 if I am planning on using it alot for videos because of the hdmi port. He also made it sound like the battery on the droid x was not as good as the one on the droid 2. He knew the price wasn't an issue for me and I told him I use it primarily for browsing the internet but nothing really specific. I told him a friend had the droid 2 and liked the keyboard and that interested me but I didn't have to have a keyboard I just wanted the best all around phone in his opinion. After asking and questioning him multiple times and asking him what he would get for himself or if it was for a family member and he stood strong on the Droid 2. I have been happy with the droid 2 but I have always wondered if the salesman truly thought it was better or that's what I should get OR if he had to meet a quota or got extra credit or something for selling the Droid 2's specifically and that was his motivation. I have checked out some friends droid x's but I can't decide if I should take mine in and exchange it before my 30 days is up or what. While using the keyboard on a screen has never been a problem for me at all, im not gonna lie I have gotten pretty used to using the slide out keyboard on the droid 2 but there is also something about the shape and size of the droid x and its screen that is awsome. Does anyone have either of these phones or have any reccomendations for me?? Anytime I know you can tell me what you would do if you were me so let's hear it!!
I wish I could say that Verizon Wireless is the best EVER and that's why I chose them but I can't....atleast not yet!! At the same time I have zero complaints with them and have been nothing but happy up to this point. I hope I was able to make some people happy......Anytime!......by thid post and me confessing that I am with verizon now.....it wasn't easy!! Also Anytime, maybe you can get me an early upgrade when the iphones come to Verizon haha jk I know your not a big fan of me but im one of your customers now so you gotta be nice to me!!
