First, I would check out which provider had the best connectivity in your
area you will be using it, thats most important right?
ATT does not neuter thier phones as Verizon does but as XS11E sez, you can
go to howardforums, or motomodders, or any number of free forums to remedy
that issue.

I need my phone as a phone, so I chose ATT which has the better coverage in
my area. Some areas are better covered by Verizon, some areas it is all the
same. Rate plans are another thing to consider, which one has the best plan
and the best phone to suit you?
