    No, they don't. I can't remember every losing a connection with Verizon.

    iPhone + Shitty Coverage = Save your money

    I think the best 'shield' for phones are the one produced by Zagg. They work and are extremely resilient. They also don't fade or distort the screen.

    They have an ad for the G1 right on the front page.

    I like hearing him called Billy. It has such a nice ring to it. I wonder if there is a 'billy' ringtone?

    All phone carriers suck. Some have better coverage than a particular area, but they all suck. Customer service is awful, the website blows, the store employees are idiotic, the hardware is overpriced. It's always something - or a combination of somethings.

    I'm glad T-Mobile or Sprint or Verizon is your little slice of heaven. AT&T is mine. Millions upon millions of other people can't stand any of them.

    They all suck.

    The iPhone on the other hand, rocks.

    I need a network to make phone calls on, and data to retrieve my email. Verizon doesn't fail at either. Sorry yours apparently does so that it results in you needing the deficient areas you listed.

    Maybe I should get a Motorola Razr - after all, it does stop speeding bullets...

    Don't bother with the much hyped Blackberry Storm from Verizon. Engadget reviewed it and it comes up well short of the iPhone bar.
