      If iPhone users cared, they wouldnt be iPhone users. I for one will trade my crappy unstable glitchy Androids for a clean, dependable and glitch free iPhone any day. Next check, I’m making the switch. No battery hogging 4G for me anymore! Just smooth sailing :)

    Thanks Verizon for bypassing Jackson, Hattiesburg, and the entire gulf-coast…..AND GOING TO TUPELO?!?!?!

    Smart move!

    I mean, why bring your beautiful speeds to the masses? Just let Lee County aka hickville USA get it instead. Yep, that Droid Razr that I’m about to get….just keep reminding me I gotta go 50 miles west to New Orleans to really enjoy it…

    Ooooo, Verizon turned on ONE new cell tower with 4G/LTE in Oklahoma this month, alert the media!!!!!!  As a Sprint iPhone 4S user I could care less about this, since Verizon doesn’t even have 3G coverage at all in the northwestern half or southeastern half of the state, where I travel for work.  Big woo.   Pioneer Cellular and Sprint, the other CDMA carriers in Oklahoma, cover the ENTIRE state with 3G, making overall service perfectly usable, with no gaps in coverage between towns and cities, covering both small towns and the big cities equally. What a concept!   Granted neither has 4G, but 4G has not reached critical mass yet or is usable by travelers by any stretch of the imagination. 

    Verizon continues to tout its LTE in Rural America program in its LTE expansion press releases, but as of yet, NOT ONE of the participants has lit up anything under this program, despite its being in existence for a year now.   I wonder what the problem is.
