Clayton: I moved from cingular after 2 long years, and went to Verizon
Cingular had the best coverage I have experienced.
Cigular had the absolute worst service I have ever experienced.
I'll mitigate that , Once I managed to get a hold of a seriously
techie young lady and she was great.
Once in two tears.
Verizon appears to have pretty good coverage. I have had a couple
hiccups, but the service folks were really good. The only exception
was when I took my razor in for a replacement the support kid in the
store worked like he was moving through molasses.
I like the options such as being able to turn my phone into a high end
gps for either 3 bucks a day or 10 bucks fort the month. the 2 week
free trial wasn't bad either :-)
I like the menus on the cingular razor better than on verizon's razor,
but much of that is I was very used to one model and have to get used
to the other.
All in all I think I made a good choice jumping. I do wish I'd gone
for the LG chocolate instead of the razor.
