According to a compiled reviews post on CNN Fortune today, the Verizon iPhone is leaving folks unsatisfied.
Although calls are not dropped as often as on the AT&T network, and the reach of the signal is stronger for many, the user can't multitask on the 3G network (phone call and surf the web at the same time).
Second, is data speed. AT&T is almost 50% faster at download speeds. This is a cause for concern for most folks interested in a smartphone for data transfer (documents, photographs, email, etc.).
But there is a neat little hook with Verizon: the hotspot feature. You can use the iPhone to get your iPad or other gadget free reign over the Internet, without having to pay for a data plan that's only available to that particular gadget *cough*iPad*cough*
I'm seeing two pluses and two minuses here. What about you?
From what I read thus far, the Verizon pluses are not enough to get me to switch...particularly with the carrot dangling in the horizon of AT&T possibly releasing the iPhone's hotspot feature in a near future.
