The other reason that the comparison between AT&T and Verizon isn't accurate is that, in general, AT&T's 2G network is faster than Verizon's 3G network, so the whole thing is just silly.

Yes, I think that is part of it. It also seems like in some cities (particularly New York City and San Francisco) they've allowed too many people to buy phones (particularly iPhones) and so their network has become saturated in certain places, (which means there are lots of people in one place that complain) and everyone not in those areas are fine.

The exclusive contract for the iPhone is rumored to be going away this year.

I am buying a used device today (HTC Tilt) and I'll start checking out how things work on it, and if things go well, I'll upgrade to another device (haven't decided what yet, the candidates are the LG eXpo, HTC Tilt2 and the HTC Pure). I like the idea of the Android, and AT&T is going to be supporting that shortly, but the resolution is still small, so the older three phones are still the best, from that perspective.

Maybe the people who are unhappy are the iPhone users that want endless downloads and silly apps. If I understand correctly, iPhones have taken off like crazy in the US and only AT&T offers them, so if iPhone users make up a sizeable chunk of the unhappy cell phone user population, then the comparison between AT&T and Verizon isn't really accurate.

Unfortunately, at least from your party's perspective, we are still in NH, so we can't come to your house this year. Have fun.

Just have to say... thank you for your comments on my blog. I just found them! I thought I would receive an email notice when I received them, but somehow I didn't.

Anyway, I appreciate your input. And, you are right about being single and devoted to God. I certainly feel that privilege in this season! I generally am confident in God's care for me whether I remain single or get married. But, every once in a while I get that twinge of, "OH NO! What happens when my parents die and I'm alone!"

I definitely don't feel as though I'm missing anything because I AM single. But, I've been spoiled by Matt's care for me when we were together and sometimes miss having someone interested in all that I do and helping me grow... though I'm certainly not lacking in being cared for or listened to.

I remind myself that it all comes down to God's calling because that is what there will be grace for. Right now I'm single, so I'm called to live life this way... and it's really good... and I'm more in love with Jesus everyday. I really am the most blessed person I know.

Well, anyway... hope you guys are great!

If you don't have plans, you're welcome to ring in the new year at the Furman's! Come around 7 PM on the 31st and stay how long you like... we'll be up past midnight.

We, too, have been very pleased with our AT&T service. My only complaint is that voice coverage is not as good in New England as I'd like it be, though it seems fine in other places. My cell phone service costs us $100/year for more minutes than I use, even though I'm not particularly careful about using them. I've looked into other plans and have yet to find anything that comes close.

Then again, I use my phone for...[gasp]...short phone calls, and on rare occasions a text message. Part of me speculates that someday I may be tempted to go for a phone that does everything...but I'm nowhere near there yet.
