I picked up a Verizon iPhone the other day and wow...I'm impressed. Cell coverage and call quality are MUCH better than AT&T, at least in my neck of the woods. Also, the death grip issue appears to be resolved! What did it for me was the unlimited data plan Verizon offers vs. the 2Gig cap with AT&T. I was tired of receiving emails such as this:
"Our systems have detected that you are nearing your data plan limit. Your base plan has a monthly allowance of 2GB. Any data usage which exceeds your plan allowance will be billed at $10 per each additional 1GB"
and
"Our systems have detected that you have reached your data plan limit"
Between the dozen or so email accounts, web surfing, Masons of Texas admin'ing, Netflix streaming or being a mobile hotspot for the kids, I'm a carriers worst nightmare..lol.
Now for the downside....3G speed. AT&T's HSPA is faster than Verizon's EVDO network. On AT&T, my download speed usually hovered around 3mbps vs. 1.5-2mbps on Verizon. Also, if you're on Verizon you cannot surf and talk at the same time. This may be important for some folks.
I'll probably stick with the iPhone on Verizon. Go with the provider that best suits your needs. AT&T and Verizon both offer 30 day returns so if you're in the market for an iPhone, take both for a test drive.

What's cool is my background looks 3d using 3dboard. Here's a short demo from the developer:
