I strongly encourage you all

Yeah the 3Gs is a worthy phone.  I think the 4g will be much better.  I personally don't like the iPhone mostly for the same reasons I don't like the Eris.  Virtual keypads are going to have to get much better before I can even think about using them.  Fear not though it is confirmed that AT&T is getting at least one Android phone.  It will be made by Dell and has been rejected by everyone but China so far so they are getting it  but not jumping in with both feet by any means.  They will get more and then you will have Android and coverage.  Around here AT&T and Verizon are about the same coverage wise.  There are a few spots where both lose coverage there seem to be fewer with Verizon than AT&T but it depends on where you live.  My wife was wanting us to switch to AT&T because there were apps the iPhone has that Android doesn't (mostly ereaders) that she wanted and she really wanted a cool smart phone.  I was a bit nervous about that cause I had issues on Bell South before they were swallowed and because all they have is iPhone and some WinMo phones.  I was afraid I was headed towards a feature phone but now she has decided she wants a feature phone and a Kindle.  LOL.  Sorry to hear it.

Thanks for the reassurance. That Dell phone's UI looks wretched, and if it doesn't get an overhaul down here in the US then I'm not going to go near it.

My largest fear is that I don't want people to come to these forums thinking that it's *Just* partial to Verizon forums. I go on the T-Mobile Forums, I go to the Sprint forums as well. The most that I'm active on is here (despite the fact that I have a T-Mobile Android phone), because this community really appreciates the work I did for them.

And, I just ❤️ you all too.

Part of the problem with the Dell phone is that the Chinese users have really odd desires.  They demanded a stylus for one thing.  I am sure that the US version will be quite different though I don't know what the UI is going to look like.  it is really tough to beat Sense.  AT&T won't be out of the Android picture for long.  They haven't had to have it cause they are inundated with Iphone users.  The system is so taxed with iPhone bandwidth it would be hard to fit anything else that is worthy on there.  By the end of next year though I expect AT&T to launch probably 3 Android phones At least one with higher end specs than the iPhone 4G or whatever it will be called that is coming next year.  Verizon will have quite a few I think the rumors are really quite high.  Tmo and Sprint will as usual be struggling to keep up and will move to adopting all kinds of things probably hoping they will be bought out by Verizon or AT&T.
