I got an LG Dare and switched from ATT to Verizon this week and love it. So far the only advantage I have found to have an iphone over the LG is the screen size. I have the touch screen with gps, nav, web, weather, traffic, txt pic and video messaging, 3.2 mega pixel camera. I also heard that even though the new iphone is a lot cheaper than the original that because of the special plan you have to sign up for (which costs you an additional $10 a month) you end up paying the same as the original iphone. Also my LG was a fraction of the price (list is $250).
