Currently an AT&T customer on a family plan w/ my wife. Have been PATIENTLY waiting for the Bold and now have my eyes on the Storm. After reading through every post I could find on the "Will the Storm work on AT&T" topic, it seems that the Vodafone version of the 9500 only supports UMTS 2100 which won't work on AT&T's 3G network (1900 I believe). So I could get an unlocked Vodafone 9500 but would be limited to EDGE speeds on AT&T, correct?

So now that it is [edit] rumored [edit] that Rodgers is coming out w/ the 9500, does anyone know if their version will be exactly the same as Vodafone's or is it different and will it work on AT&T's 3G network?

If not, I may switch to Verizon and pick up the 9530. I may even do a month to month plan and if AT&T ever releases a 3G storm, switch back and eBay my VZW Storm.

Any thoughts on whether Verizon's EVDO is better or worse than AT&T's 3G network in Manhattan? Who knows what is causing the Bold delay but there seems to be a lot of speculation that AT&T's 3G network isn't up to snuff. However I have also heard that it should be faster than EVDO. From a practical standpoint, which would be better in NYC?

TIA

Eric
