[QUOTE="Rob Spence, post: 15033, member: 80"] Re: iPhone 4 is on Verizon!!! Well, I am excited. I am already a Verizon user and my requirements for a smart phone rules out most of what Verizon sells today other than the Blackberrys. Quite simple... 1)It should be easy to use. My Touchpro 2 is awful. It is slow. You cannot do hardly anything with it with one hand. Using it to simply make a phone call while driving is worse than reading email with it. It locks when I don't want it to and unlocks when I don't want it to and makes all sorts of phone calls from my phone history while simply having it in my pocket. 2)It needs to sync (contacts, calendar, notes etc) locally to my computer. Syncing to both my desktop and notebook is great. It must NOT sync with any cloud servers! Who I have in my contact list is no ones business but mine and none of the majors have shown themselves to be trustworthy, competent at security, reliable and honorable. They will share if asked or just cause they want to. I don't quite understand why any company would allow employees to use cloud computing backups. Perhaps that is why so many companies use Blackberrys? 3)It should permit things like calendar, contacts, notes, web browsing, email, spreadsheets etc. Games are nice for waiting rooms and I suppose there might be an application I might like out there. The iPhone can sync locally with iTunes and be hooked through to Windows Outlook on a PC. These days only Windows Mobile and Blackberry meet those needs. [/QUOTE]
