Verizon iPhone 4: Worth it?

Are you considering switching to Verizon when the iPhone 4 makes its debut? Well, consider the positives and negatives. 

The Verizon iPhone will have the HotSync feature which turns the iPhone 4 into a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. Verizon's network may be more reliable than AT&T's because of its larger 3G reach. 

Also to consider, the price of switching. If you are an existing AT&T customer, you will have to buy yourself out of your existing contract, buy the iPhone on Verizon, and pay for the data plan along with a new contract. Which can get quite expensive. Also, the iPhone will not have the new 4G LTE, which would dramatically enhance the speed of the iPhone.

So is it worth it? In my mind, no. I have an iPhone on AT&T, and I have no problems with the network whatsoever. Although, some people get no reception at all. So if you are one of those people, I strongly advise the switch.

In my opinion i don't find it worth it, especially for me. I get really good reception and the 3G speeds are very good, 5.9mbps down and 1.2 up is very good. I my self use my iPhone more as a computer than i do a phone so data is very important to me. Verizon might have more 3G coverage but it is pretty slow. I won't switch. Sorry Verizon...
