Does anybody have the iPhone on Verizon?  If so, how is it?  Any problems with bad reception or call quality?

I have an iPod touch, which runs the same OS as the iPhone, which means the apps I already have will work on it so I am not looking to go Droid so, please, let's not make this a Droid vs iPhone thread.

Thanks in advance.

Nationwide, call quality dropping issues are about the same for both major carriers. ATT seems to be better in motion, Verizon seems to do better at standstill.  Some cities, Verizon is Better, others ATT is better.  Talk and Surf simultaneously is a nice feature if you use it, so is tethering (mobile hotspot) (if you use or need it).  GSM (ATT) is also more of a world, than CDMA (Verizon) (If you travel much outside the US).  Verizon's iPhone 4, took care of the antenna issue (I think).  iPhone, I understand, is a great smartphone, but Apple emphasized data, and unfortunately sacrificed the "phone"  part.  (An opinion)

It seems like the big complaint today is data.  Everybody thinks it is overpriced and inconsistent.  People want instantaneous communications, but in the end are unwilling to pay for it (it costs a lot of money to expand/upgrade network)

Customer service,to be honest is atrocious in both companies, over promising and under delivering. 

Now as a personal note.  I have an ATT phone and service at my house is bad.  My neighbor has Verizon and his service is bad at his house.  My step son has US Cellular, and 5 bars consistently at my house.  My father in Southern Missouri (Out in the boonies), gets Verizon real well, but other companies are really bad.  I have a friend in Mid Missouri (still in the boonies) and he gets ATT good and Verizon is bad).


So all this rant says, Talk with your neighbors and friends around where you go.  ASk them to give you there opinion (I am sure you will get differing) then make a decision based upon where you are at, instead of company.

To be completely honest, I use mine as a phone as little as possible.  And couldn't speak about Verizon anyway since I'm not a Verizon customer.

If you fail to find useful information, you could always go to a store and ask to try one out.  And make sure you know how long you have to return it.

Sorry, that's all I got.

Verizon iphone user.  Never had experience with AT&T since I work for Vz, but have loved my iphone since getting it.  Live in NY Metro area, so haven't had any service issues.  Currently Vz still has unlimited data so I have been using my phone all day everyday for data (surfing, games, etc).

Glad to hear you reached a decision and are happy with the results.
