Hello folks!
I know some of you good folks have an iphone down in Florida, so I have a few questions. I will be ready soon to upgrade to a smartphone with a data plan. I will need this for the business I plan on starting once I move down there.

I am a huge Apple fanboy and have been waiting for an iphone for years. Up here in NY, Verizon is king and has a near 100% market share. I do know one or two folks who do have an iphone up here, and they say they are happy with it through ATT.

As you probably know, Verizon will finally have a version of the iphone. It will be a CMDA version, not the GSM version ATT has.

ATT has some better features....rollover minutes, voice & data, etc. Also, comparing the different plans I have learned that ATT offers me better discounts as a Gov't employee then Verizon does.

SO.....how is ATT down there? Ironic that I've waited so long for an iphone, and I may just go with ATT now. I will do it before I move there just before I retire I think. I want to see what happens next month with how Verizon handles things.....also, the rumor is out there that the iphone 5 may be out by July.

I"m told by Verizon that the lack of voice & Data is not a big deal....but ATT folks say it is like power windows on a car, once you have them, you do not want to go back.

My Verizon reception when I am down there has not been the best. It also irks me that for years Verizon has put down the iphone whenever I go into their store, saying "We would not want it", "Too closed" "Droids are better", "Antenna problems", etc,etc......now that they are getting it that are changing their tune big time.

I know folks in NYC, etc have not been happy with dropped calls, etc with ATT, but as long as it is good in central Florida that is all I care about.

I welcome your opinions and input.

Thanks! Frank (currently freezing in NY)
