"Everyone says the iPhone would be better with Verizon" ???

Define "Everyone". Verizon service use to stink in Puerto Rico before they sold to "Claro". I have been very happy with AT&T and my iPhone. Unlike Verizon and Sprint, they do NOT try to re-start my contract for two new years everytime I make a small change to my account.

whatever you are just trying to save AT&T, I had them for 4 years straight when they were cingular. Since they took over they have raised the prices and service has been crappy. I finally went over to Verizon and I haven't had any problems..NONE.

I can go to my small home town (Fair Bluff) and make calls without having to drive 3-4 miles down the road to catch a signal.
