[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1259446, member: 145676"] I also live in Colorado - I had the iPhone 3 from AT&T - It was suggested by my co-workers - that I should have bought an iPod touch and a Verizon Phone, the call quality and dropped calls were very bad. I've heard less problems with iPhone 4 but my friends/co-workers still drop calls. I travel up and down the front range, and go to the mountains a lot and have had no dropped calls - except for 1 area at a customer site, but that may be due to extenuating circumstances. (The signal isn't very good in the back of the building among other issues) Anyway - the Verizon iPhone works like it should - as a phone, and there is 3G everywhere. Anyone that tells you that you can talk and surf at the same time on AT&T, hasn't really tried it. I tried to use WebEx and either I dropped calls, or the network stalled because AT&T's network isn't any good. Great marketing story - real world, never worked for me. Lastly on the overseas travel - that was a bummer, my Verizon iPhone of course didn't work in Europe. It would have been OK for me as my company pays for my communications. If I were paying my own way - I wouldn't try to use my own device overseas. The charges for data and phone usage are horrendous. I actually have a jailbroken/unlocked iPhone 3 - and just use that with a pre-paid sim card. Then you get minutes at the local rate. Or you could do the wifi-only thing - and use skype to call back to the US. $30/year call any US number - or get your friends to sign on. There is plenty of hotel/café wifi in most major European cities. [/QUOTE]
