John you MISS Oregon my wife's family is from Oregon we went to visit a year ago and I spent the whole time taking pictures the Oregon coast is fantastic. I hope to go back soon. Will take a Nikon D3s with me next time.:)
The coverage issues is kind of a toss up until the cell companies start using the old analog TV freq's. They are not going to get a strong signal with distance from a cell tower. Verizon is starting next year to switch to the same type of radio transmitters that AT&T and the rest of the cell companies around the world are using one of the big reasons there is no iPhone on Verizon though I look for that to change next year. -----Original Message----- From: macgroup-boun...@erdos.math.louisville.edu [mailto:macgroup-boun...@erdos.math.louisville.edu] On Behalf Of Profile Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 9:52 PM To: Topics related to Apple and Macintosh computers Subject: [MacGroup] AT&T vs Verizon Just back from a lengthly vacation, drove 6,000 miles and got within 50 miles of Oregon. Went through many states, in canyons and on mountain tops. All in all my iPhone with AT&T and my wife's phone on Verizon were head to head. There were times she had to use my phone to text or call because the Verizon had no bars, then it would be her turn and the AT&T was dead. This was a total toss up and I am not being bias, wish I could say that AT&T knocked the socks off Verizon but they were identical and there were many places neither worked. Food for thought for I always hear that AT&T doesn't have near the network but on this trip it wasn't so. Also, the "high speed" in most hotels was not a great deal faster than dial-up, I imagine they are satellite fed. Only in the largest of cities was there 3g network, even the basic network was lacking in many places So glad to get back to civilization, I have gotten used to all this technology and I don't like losing it.
