i've been with Verizon since my beeper days. i can't shake them. if we're in an area where someone else has trouble connecting or carrying a signal, i just hand them my phone. nationwide long distance, ability to call Costa Rica (in-laws are there right now) and the live TV are things i probably couldn't live without. i've also had an opportunity to use their GPS-based turn-by-turn directions and i wasn't ready for the phone to actually speak up prior to the turn, in time for me to actually make the turn. it must have something to do with speed, too. i've never used their internet. there is nothing on the web that i just have to find out before i get home to my computer. i have used their text service, but i am not dependent on that, either. GPS-based 911 is cool, but i am sure that comes on just about any phone these days.

i am also a subscriber of the 'new every 2' plan, so i can get a new one in a few months. i kind of like this slider, though. the screen has zero scratches on it and it is fairly well lit.
