I did have a droid and BB next to an Iphone 4 and both phones picked up an extra bar of signal over the IP4. But the call quality on the Verizon IP4 is dramatically better compared to AT&T and no dropped calls with 6 hours of talk time. Verizon just solved the biggest flaw on an IP4.

The iphones do use a special sim card. And to the OP you should have waited there coming out with a better one soon. Next to that you have to use Verizon's 3G network cause the I4 doesnt support 4G. AND dont plan on going out of country and expect verizon to have service. AND you cant be on a phone call and check text or email etc, where as me with my AT&T IPhone can.

Don't listen to this guy! Lol I got my Verizon iPhone yesterday. And for the record I can and have viewed both txts and emails while talking on the phone. [Razz] and 4g capable or not this thing is a huge improvement vs the storm I had. Very fast. Love it!

I would rather have good reception and no dropped calls! and if im in another country is because im on vacation living it up, dont need nobody to be calling! [Whoo Whooooo!] ... My sister and her bf have iphones with at&t and OMG let me tell you how bad reception is and how many times her phone drops a call .... One time while working i was in the elevator and guy next to me said, "can you believe this, my damn i phone gets better reception in the elevator than outside" I told him thats at&t for ya ..lol

What the other guy was trying to say is you can talk and receive data on att network because they use gsm network the verizon network is using the old CDMA so you can't talk and receive data at the same time and the iPhone 4 with the bad service with att has to do with bad antena design from apple so for the verizon iPhone they added a second antena to solve that problem and to all who say that att is done because the iPhone is sold with verizon you guys know nothing the rest of the world who still want iPhones go through AT&T because the iPhone with att use sim cards and so do the t- mobile customers and to the people who wonder if they will be charged more for putting in a sim card in a blk berry or iPhone the att system knows automatically which phone your using so if they don't charge you now they will eventually it happened to me. But you can call customer care and play dumb and they will reverse the charges with no hastle. But the iPhone 4 and 3GS iPhone are 4g capable for those who seem not to know but yes I'm also waiting for the iPhone 5 cuz it's iPhone FTMFW ! Lmao

Let's just say that I gave my wife the Droid Incredible and I am loving the iPhone. There are a lot of things that I am getting used to but it is pretty cool. ATT can multiple task with calling and surfing Internet. Verizon you have hot spot where five devices can go online off of your device but service is extra.

With a droid you can download pdanet and get internet off of your phone. All for free.

Yes I preordered on the third and got it on seventh. The specs on the incredible are good but apple knows how to build hardware so that the software is seamless. I do miss a lot of features on the incredible but I also don't miss how glitchy that phone was. The scenes were awesome by the way but a memory hog.

FYI there is already a way to jailbrake the Verizon iPhone 4. If you are willing to do that, he'll you can do a lot for free.

I also read that on engadget the Verizon iPhone 4 was taken apart and still has the GSM radio still in the phone. Hmmm, might have some interesting tweaks by lots of geeks in the near future.
