We must be kindred spirits! I had the Storm, then moved onto the DInc as well. All the time secretly wishing the iPhone was a available on Verizon. Then I got to know a lot about android. Even my wife figured it out. I had bought her a Fascinate, then got her an iPhone (actually, this very one I am typing on now...). It didn't take her long and she wanted back on her android. LOL. I still seemed to be mesmerized by the Iphone and retired my DInc and took over this iPhone. Partly due to horrible reception at work. I saw others with vzw iPhones that said they got good reception.
Well, over time I realized the iPhone was no better. So I jumped back to android and stepped up to 4g when I found out it was actually available in my area. Verizon site and coverage map said no, but a co worker said yes. So I soon had a Rezound in hand. Ahhhhh, MUCH better, I thought. Blazing speeds, big screen and the freedom of android! I thought I had it all....
Then the data connectivity problems started. Soon I was waiting on my fourth Rezound and fifth sim card to arrive in the mail. I had had enough, never even activated the Rezound. Went back to this iPhone (8gb 4). Put the Rezound up for sale. Ended up trading my Rezound and quite a few accessories for a 16gb iPhone 4, an Incredible and an old Motorola droid something or other... I sold the Incredible and the Motorola. I started using the 16gb iPhone 4. Bought a Lifeproof case for it and was happy. Jailbroken it right away as well. Life was good, then word of the Five came out. I preordered and had mine in hand on release day. A nice new 64gb black iPhone 5. I was back to LTE and a new iPhone! But not all was good....
After less than a month with the Five, I was very unhappy. My LTE speeds were quite a bit slower than those on my Rezound. Was it the over saturated system or the phone? Also, at work, the shiny new 5 was useless. Out side a door 15 feet away, LTE bliss! But inside the building I was barely getting 1x!!!! While AT&T iPhone users sat at break using their phones, I watched mine spin and spin.
So I stuck an AT&T compatible Straigt Talk sim in and tried it... Success!!!! I had an iPhone 5 that would work, and work very fast! But alas, I knew I was still missing something...
So the five went on eBay. Fetched $1000, and is being shipped tomorrow. At the same time I came across a great deal on a new Rezound. It should be here today or tomorrow. I will have to go hit a Verizon store to get a new sim card, then I will once again be free! But it shall be short lived with the Rezound...
For I am unhappy with Verizon and their crap. I plan to get the new Nexus 4 and use it with that Straight Talk account. I will maintain my Verizon line as well for a time. If I decide I truly prefer the prepaid bliss on pure android, I will drop the unlimited data from my line and place a simple basic phone on my line for emergency use. I cannot port my 20 year old number to Google Voice, Google says "no". I am too scared to port it to straight talk and risk losing it. At least not yet.
So, glad to be back to android soon! Not so sure about the Rezound, but it will be better than iOS! I don't see myself ever leaving android for ios again, but you never know...
