Next Yoshi is going to buy a macbook, and try to show is his iMovies of his kid.

Work phone.

I got an LG Dare. Seems ok.

Verizon sucks at everything but coverage

Unlikely but never say never.

Wait a few years, I'll post my own movies of his kid.

I'm not sure where to post this question, but I'll try this thread.

So here's my deal.

My Verizon contract is up. I'm interested in the iPhone, but AT&T's coverage is shit. Verizon's coverage is near-flawless, but their phones are shit. I don't want to switch to AT&T and give up my reliable coverage just to have Apple's latest iProduct, especially not when I hear Verizon is getting the iPhone next year. (Is that right?)

At the same time, I'd like to replace my phone. My LG enV has served me well, but I can't use it to access the Internet and, most importantly, check and update my calendar (I use Google). But none of the Verizon phones really appeal to me except the Blackberries, and even if I bought those I'd be stuck with Verizon's shitty data/Internet plans.

So I'm thinking about buying one of the new Eee netbooks (or something similar) and just paying extra for Verizon's EV-DO service. I could use it to keep track of my schedule, edit briefs and other pleadings, send email, and then I could buy an iPhone later if I still wanted one.

Does this sound reasonable? Feel free to suggest alternative solutions and/or phones.

Verizon is currently in talks with Apple to bring the iPhone over to our side. Wait it out.

The only reason I got a smartphone was to sync my gmail and google calendar/ical on the go. I ended up getting the blackberry storm which can sync with google quite well. The storm is actually a sweet phone and not hard to text/email on. The apps work well and I find it very customizable. The only downside is the Verizon data package is a bunch of bullshit.

To anyone complaining about the data plan on VZW...

ITS THE SAME EXACT PRICE AT&T FORCES YOU TO GET WITH AN IPHONE!

[Hubbitron]

I would never switch to AT&T but if I had to I would also complain about their data package.
