Why buying the Verizon iPhone is a mistake

[bustedmagnet]

Facts
1. Iphone 5 coming in june. Do you want to be the guy/gal with the old and slow phone in a few months? No.
2. Hotspot who cares! I can pay $20 or less for this feature on any decent phone!
3. Have an 'old' plan? Sorry, you have to sign up for a new and more expensive plan to get this phone!

At&t looking better and better.

I don't care I will buy the Iphone5 money is not an issue. Not a problem.
2. Hotspot who cares! I can pay $20 or less for this feature on any decent phone!

I don't really care about the hot spot either but I will have finally an Iphone on Verizons network after waiting for so long.
3. Have an 'old' plan? Sorry, you have to sign up for a new and more expensive plan to get this phone!

Not really If I buy it the only thing that will change is the NE2 and I really didn't care about that anyways. I already pay 30 a month for data so whats changing?

At&t looking better and better.

Never had AT&T but from millions of blogs I have read  about the company 7 out 10 hate it cause of the service. Once agian this is just blogs so.

This title should be "why you shouldn't listen to un-informed nimrods like this guy" (can't change the title post on the mobile version of this site).

No one is saying whether or not the iPhone 5 will come to Verizon at the same time as the AT&T version. You do not know this to be a fact, so stop posing as though you do.

Verizon is simply offering an unlimited data plan. You gonna get an unlimited plan at AT&T?

Easy one. NO.

And I didn't see an AT&T phone with the hotspot feature. Which phone AT&T does this for no extra charge?

I personally have no interest on an iPhone and given the frenzy and hysterics this particular forum has become, I don't know why I even come here anymore. But I slipped in, saw this pompous rambling, and couldn't help myself.

Maybe......)

@geri, the iphone 5 will have a single cdma/gsm chip from qualcomm so yes the iphone 5 is coming to verizon in june. The hotspot feature is not free you pompous nimrod, it's $20 per month in addition to your data plan charge. No at&t phone does hotspot for free but nor does iphone 4 so this is not a feature worth touting. the tmobile htc myTouch 4g does offer free hotspot. Sorry but it is not worth getting the Verizon iphone 4 if you like state of the art devices.

Ps. Sorry but my iPad doesn't handle proper upper casing well. Lol

(No its not its a feature you can add on for $20 either you want it or don't want it check your facts) No at&t phone does hotspot for free but nor does iphone 4 so this is not a feature worth touting. the tmobile htc myTouch 4g does offer free hotspot. Sorry but it is not worth getting the Verizon iphone 4 if you like state of the art devices.

It's not nice to call people names either.

I agree is was rude for geri to call me a pompous nimrod! Lol

All speculation at this point!

Hey it is a fact that the iPhone comes out every June. If you want to risk having an old device then go for it. It won't be me! Lol
