I continue to see posts like this about the Verizon network versus AT&T:

I've been using AT&T for over a year now, and switching back to Verizon was a breath of fresh air. The web browsing is markedly faster on the Verizon 3G network. Calls stayed up on the three times I made a longer call while driving. In short, it just worked. iPhone fanboys, you have to admit that's a weakness.

I realize that Verizon has the better network, but seriously, in day to day usage, I've not seen any difference at all. Not here (Baltimore/Washington corridor), not in NYC, Boston, Cincinnati, or Minneapolis. Admittedly, I haven't driven out into the sticks with my iPhone, but I never did that when I was on Verizon, either. I think that well over 50 percent of the perceived problem that AT&T has stems from whatever it is they are doing wrong in the greater bay area out in California - because I'm sure not seeing any problems myself.

Also, at this point in time, at least for me, there's just no reason for me to return to Verizon. Why? I don't travel overseas extensively, but I do go to Europe a few times a year - and it's really nice to not have a useless brick while I'm there. The Droid would be a brick, which isn't really what I'm looking for in a phone...
