iPhone to Verizon? Not Until 2012
Found this article on CNN that says the AT&T/iPhone exclusivity goes through 2012. And that will be the clincher for me. Two more years of this service? I think not. I'll honor my contract until August and then I'm gone. Besides, I still need to visit an AT&T store to get my peace. (I feel sorry for whoever waits on me that day.)

To finish out my month of April:
-8 dropped calls. The service overall got really lousy in that last week of April and things have continued since. The most infuriating experience I had was when I conscientiously waited to return a call until I left my house, since that's when most of the problems occur. I was out on High St, the most notable street in Columbus, not more than seven or eight miles from downtown, and I dropped the call. I called back and it dropped again. I returned it once more to tell the guy that I would have to call him later on. He said even that call was breaking up. This incident will count as four fails, one for each of the dropped calls, one for the call that was breaking up and on its way to being dropped and one because I couldn't have a conversation with a guy when I needed to when clearly I should be in a coverage zone. I find it disgusting that AT&T's commercials note they cover 97% of Americans, but I couldn't have a conversation with someone while I was outdoors in the metropolis of the 16th largest city in the U.S.
-4 voicemails showed up out of nowhere - and two of these showed up while I was outside of my house. As I have noted, most of my problems with this phone arise from being inside my house. But since that last month of April, the problems are much more widespread than that.
