All that glitters
Verizon iPhone

First impressions:

  • I can hear you now.
  • it took a few minutes to activate the phones, but my AT&T numbers were active on Verizon within 5 minutes of activation, painless.
  • internet is plenty fast
  • Apple sales clerk at store said: “with a new product release, we usually get a few thousand people in the first 1-2 days, and we were preparing for that.  we’re seeing more like a few thousand over the first week, but it hasn’t been the same as with a new device”
  • I was her first AT&T switcher, which she was really excited about.
  • iOS 4.2.6 is buggy.  Mail very crashy, had some weird things happen with app downloads.
  • Feels like things lock up a little, perhaps when connecting to the internet(?).  Don’t know if this is buggy or something data on CDMA.
  • despite heavy paranoia, I haven’t yet felt the inconvenience of not being able to use data + voice at the same time yet

I’ve only had the thing for < 24h, but so far, so happy.  I really love the “phone” feature that Apple introduced, exclusive to Verizon.  My AT&T phone dropped 3 of 4 calls while I was in the car on the way to the Apple store, the last calls it made.  Good riddance.
