I've been a Blackberry person through 4 phones (I'm even @bberrymom on Twitter) But, I noticed recently at conferences many of my fellow bloggers were effectively tweeting and live-blogging on the Iphones in a way I could NOT on my Blackberry. I don't think it would have been worth it before the 3G..but now, it's been great. The battery sucks down quickly but there are things you can do like lower the brightness and turn off wifi (when you don't need it) that help tremendously. I also like having my Ipod included (especially when traveling). I say go for it. OK..I JUST faced the same dilemma and went over to the “dark” side.

Sure, Verizon has a large network throughout the country - but where will you be? Houston - Covered Ohio - Covered New York - Covered Seriously - any place you travel, you'll be able to enjoy the same quality of cell service and 3g speed as you would with Verizon. ATT might drop calls from time to time, but honestly - when I was a Verizon customer, I dropped calls from time to time. It happens on every carrier. I love my iPhone. Sure, the battery isn't good on it but you want to know why: I'm CONSTANTLY on it. I'm playing on apps. I'm booking reservations on it on opentable. I'm hailing a cab with Taxi Magic. I'm finding out what song is playing with Shazam. I'm at a mall scanning the UPC codes with Red Laser to see if I can find it cheaper online. I'm tweeting, foursquaring, flickring - all the time. That's why the battery stinks. I use my phone. When I had a blackberry, outside of checking mail or texting, I wouldn't use it. No wonder the battery lasted so long....
