Rate plans: How AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile stack up
Now that Verizon has the iPhone, you can start to choose your carrier by its rates
As long as AT&T (T) was Apple's (AAPL) only U.S. carrier, nobody who really wanted an iPhone did much comparison shopping on voice and data rates. You signed up for the AT&T plan that made sense for you and your family, and that was that.
But now that Verizon (VZ) has MORE

Review: Samsung Transform on Sprint
The potential is there, the software updates are not.

It is positioned as a midrange Android phone and the hardware isn't as nearly robust as its Epic 4G big brother. The screen is 3.5-inch 320x480 pixels which compares to an iPhone 3GS and it is MORE
