My VZW iPhone experiences

Today I picked up an iPhone from the Verizon Wireless store. They activated it on iTunes and transferred my contacts from my old flip phone. The sales lady even put on the screen protector and made several trips to the back bringing out different clips/holsters until I found one I liked.

The 3G speed is good. I can’t think of when I would need to talk and surf the web at the same time. I guess since I never had the option previously I don’t know what I am missing 🙂

My only complaint is with the personal hotspot feature. I didn’t know that it cost extra. I guess I didn’t research it enough. If that isn’t bad enough, the sales lady showed me where to turn it on in the settings menu, but neglected to tell me there was an additional cost.

With the hotspot costing $20/mo for 2GB of data, I cannot justify paying it. My thought was to cancel the AT&T 3G on my iPad and use the wifi hotspot with the iPad. I am still canceling the 3G on the iPad and will just be using the wifi on it, just not through the iPhone.
