I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon because I wanted to have good reception both at home and work in addition to being able to use my phone on the Metro. Indeed, I am happy with it! (which is the point of owning a cell phone-being able to make and receive calls when we want!)My husband actually has the same phone, which he has had since last November. After comparing these two identical phones, we have noticed that the one I have takes better digital pictures and the battery lasts longer before I need to charge it. Overall, I am happy with this phone. It is great!
