Verizon to AT&T- 'The Truth Hurts'

Here's the deal you all need to understand that at&t may of got the Iphone but Verizon got the droid series. The moto droid and the HTC eris droid phones offer tons of free services and apps comparable to the iPhone those phones plus the Verizons nation wide 3g coverage is going to hurt at&t's bottom line and iPhone will jump ship in order to save face. The best of luck to both parties can't wait to see what happens now

AT&T should come back with an ad that reads "want to use an app, there's a charge for that. ". "Want to use all your phone functions, there's a charge for that".

My experience with AT&T has been mostly positive.

Reading through the Verizon document, they pretty much nail AT&T to the wall and expose their weakness. In that regard, its excellent advertising.

Also confirming what so many of us suspected: AT&T has routinely under-invested in their infrastructure and over-promised in its build out.

I'm not sure that if a Verizon-version of the iPhone did come out I would switch, but I think this exclusivity deal has made AT&T arrogant. A little competition would be good for consumers.

In Phoenix. Practically no trouble at all. I get into the EDGE zone from time to time but overall I have zero issues with AT&T.

But AT&T has to know that if they don't improve their network extensively they're going to lose just about everyone that owns an iPhone. I'll probably stick around because I really don't have any issues but if there's a better chance of faster coverage and no chance of getting thrown into EDGE then I might think of defecting.

The one advantage I see is that AT&T will throw down tons of deals and free offers to keep them from jumping ship.

In my experiences AT&T and Verizon both have equally good service. Instead of playing up their own respective strengths negative advertising seems to be the norm now.

I've been with AT&T for a very long time (PacBell->Cingular->and now AT&T).As far as coverage goes, esp. in a high-density population place like the Bay Area, my coverage is exceptional. Clear calls, exceptional 3G coverage, and data coverage as far as the eye can see. Sometimes.

I really am diggin' the banter between these two Titans, though. I say let it continue. I hope it compels AT&T to make changes to benefit its customers even further. (Sure I'd love to have free coverage overseas ;D)

i live in brookly, i move the whole time from here to queens, manhattan, nj, at&t has a good service but i experience a lot of drop phone calls, i reported them to at&t 2 years ago and nothing changed since then. first fix your issues at&t, then answer back to verizon, that has a better service than u in this area of the country

Hopefully AT&T decides to act on this and actually do something about it other than file a lawsuit. The truth hurts. If they can't get their act together, it could get a lot uglier. They don't need this bad press. Bad idea filing the lawsuit.

If you guys are gonna take a whole day just to repost a story, I wish you guys could of at least contributed a little bit of your own thoughts to the story.... something to freshen up the day old story. I mean... its a no-brainer given how often you guys bash on At&t (and they deserve it), it should have come 2nd nature to TUAW.

Why's it take a sister site a whole day to repost a story anyway?

AT&T, if you're listening, you can distract us from Verizon's onslaught by giving us tethering!! We're waiting...

Oh, snap.
