ParticipantLTE blows all the other “4G” out of the water. I have my Thunderbolt for roughly 3-4 months now and loving it. I root my phone, so I can turn off LTE if I don’t want the speed but when I want it, it FAST. Faster than my land line. I can get 15Mb down and 5Mb up with just 1 bar. They’re definitely capping the speed if I can get that kind of speed with just 1 bar. Also, once I have 4.3″ screen phone, all the other 3.5″ screen phones feel so small. Although the iPhone 4 might have higher res screen, nothing beat the actual screen size being bigger. iPhone resale value is “higher” because you have to shell out more for the phone. At one point, after a month of release, you can get the Thunderbolt for $100 on Amazon. So, you’ll be paying less for the actual phone, which mean it’s more likely that you can recoup your cost.

ParticipantI was in your same situation and decided to stick with AT&T. I got the Samsung Infuse 4g and really like it. Screen is 4.5 inches (larger than any other that I know of), extremely bright, and the phone is super thin and light.
My speed tests range from 3 – 7 Mbps using the AT&T version of 4g HSPA+, which I guess is slower than Verizon’s LTE. However, I do find that it is almost everywhere, which is nice.
No regrets leaving the iPhone. I feel like Android is the pioneer and releases cool new stuff right away, while Apple takes 6 months to perfect it before release. Just my 2c.

Glad to hear that you have no regrets leaving the iPhone. I’ve always heard that Android devices can be “rough around the edges” but haven’t actually played with any long enough to really find out for myself.
Anyone here have Sprint or T-Mobile? I looked into Sprint a little bit but they don’t seem to be much cheaper if any than AT&T/Verizon and I’ve heard the network isn’t nearly as good as the big two so doesn’t seem to be a lot of reason to go with them. And now that AT&T owns T-Mobile they aren’t really a separate option anymore.
