Let me start off by saying this is not a paid advertisement for either one.
I currently have AT&T (Cingular) – both on my personal phone and my current work BlackBerry.
The reason I bring up the debate is that my BlackBerry is my lifeline at work. I am “on call” this week so it is absolutely imperative that I am able to receive email. But, they have decided to upgrade their towers to accommodate 3G.
That in itself is great, but did they stop to consider the number of non 3G BB’s there are in the area? Because of their actions, I have to wear two different BlackBerry devices. One from AT&T and one from Verizon.
The Verizon device never faltered or lost connectivity once during the test period.
My employer made a call to our AT&T Rep and informed them that if I did not have service by Monday they were switching me to a new provider.
Now I don’t think myself all that important, but I do find it coincidental that when I got home last night, I had full EDGE connection all night. Even in my basement.
So, tomorrow the Verizon BlackBerry goes back in the drawer and my new BlackBerry – yeah they took away my old clunky 8700 and gave me a Curve to see if it would connect any better – will be come better acquainted
