My remote regions best coverage is Verizon so I am on a BlackBerry Storm II ....

IPhone is AT&T only an here in the Panhandle their coverage is crap.

Verizon gets apple ok I will get one.

Good quality phone from my limited observations of it. Just piss poor carrier.

So people will be pulling over to the side of the interstate to send a text. Wonder how many will cause accidents by doing that?

Is it all that hard to take an exit these days?

So..... now people are going to slow down to 10 MPH on the freeway?

Hey, that means the average rush-hour speed through Downtown Seattle will increase! Hurray!

Squantos, I’m not opposed to the idea AT&T could be bad in certain areas. It would seem reasoned that each carrier would have it’s high and low points.

I’ve traveled all over the U.S., and haven’t run into any what I would call obvious AT&T responsible outages. Others may have traveled to the same places and have.

At any rate, sorry you don’t get good AT&T coverage over there. I don’t have any beef with Verizon. If they cover you great, I’m glad.

"So passengers can’t text?"

Not even if you are stuffed in the trunk.

Here is Georgia, a law just came into effect last month where you are fined $150 if caught for texting while driving.
