people don't switch to verizon because of the phones (they've had the worst
phones of the major providers for a looong time, although it's been getting
*much* better), but they do tend to stay because of the better coverage.
that's why verizon has such a lower churn rate than at&t / cingular. i know
when i switched to verizon, i was bummed about the phones (i had a ericsson
something or other wap phone w/ at&t waaay back in '99, then a nokia 8290,
then a sweeet t68i. then i switched to verizon, and the best phone they had
was some crappy kyocera. but the service was soooo much better).
