I'd stay with Verizon because of LTE and coverage. But, about it being more versatile on AT&T, I'm not sure about that.

Besides, the SG Note II will be the phone of the year.

 

Will verizon cancel my unlimited data plan if I switch from my galaxy nexus to the galaxy note 2?

 

Unless you pay full retail you will lose your unlimited data.

 

Man I hope your right

 

If you prefer rooting your phone, not sure Verizon is the right choice. If it doesn't matter to you, then I don't really see any advantage for any of the providers with exception to Verizon's current LTE coverage:

Verizon’s Galaxy Note 2 To Have a Locked Bootloader? We’re Not Surprised

 

Yes, Verizon s LTE network is far from superior to AT&Ts..

 

Bloatware isn't really anything to complain or worry about anymore since apps can be disabled.

 

I've never had either provider, so I couldn't tell you how att manages their sim (lock or unlock), but in order for you to use a att phone with a pre-paid international card, you'd the sim slot would have to be unlocked.

That said, I have a motorola photon (original) for sprint, which is an international phone, and the sim is unlocked, so multiple people have reported being able to use international sim cards without issue.

I'm sure there are other phones from att and verizon that have similar capabilities. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you which ones work.

 

I'm on Verizon right now, currently free of any contract w/unlimited. Based on the coverage I'm able to compare(work gives me an ATT iPhone), I'm going to just go with AT&T for the fact that I can get phones much more easily with AT&T, and coverage is equal--if not better on AT&Ts network in my frequented areas.

Byebye evil red empire. Hurry up and get this damn phone out AT&T!
