Best wireless service?

[Vigilante]

Title doesn't make sense with what I wanna ask, but I like the title, so it stays....

My question is. From these 4 service providers, which do you recommend and which is the best?

AT&T
T-Mobile
Verizon
Sprint

I currently have AT&T, and they suck. Fewest dropped calls my ass. My calls are always dropped, and I never get bars....

I used to have T-Mobile, and from what I'm hearing, its just as worse as AT&T.

So, which is better between Verizon and Sprint?

Also, I want to get a touchscreen phone. I have an iPhone now, but AT&T sucks. So what do you guys recommend?

I have been watching the Sprint Instinct vs iPhone videos, and the Instinct won every category. But the only thing i don't like about Instinct, is that I don't think you can use iTunes with it, and that the phone isn't as wide as the iPhone, and the resolution isn't as great either, so yeah....

Thoughts?

Re: Best wireless service?

Ok so there is the issue of service and then there is the issue of the phone itself.

In the US, I would highly recommend Verizon in terms of signal levels and quality. My main experience has been in the states of CA, AZ, NV, CO, UT, NE, IA, WI, IL, IN, MN, and MI. I have used my phone in other states too but not as much so I can't say anything for sure.

I currently have both Verizon and t-mobile and both in southern CA and the bay area, the Verizon signal is consistently better. My uncle has AT&T and typically my Verizon phone has better or the same signal levels compared to his blackberry.

Best of all, EVDO internet speeds on my phone has been excellent in most metropolitan areas. I often get hundreds of kbps down and decent (more than 80kbps) up stream on the phone.

As far as the phones, this really depends on what you want from a phone. Some people just want a phone .. some people want something that's more like a high-end PDA .. some people want an mp3 player/camera/instant messenger ...

I've had literally the same T-Mobile prepaid phone for 3 years and it has never failed me once. It doesn't have all those types of features (although I can get top news from CNN) and is pretty beat up but it is small, compact and gets the job done (calling people). You don't need all those types of features on a phone unless you're a business man. Stick with simplicity.

From my experience Verizon, I've used it in CA, NV and NY.
If you're looking for a touchscreen, the BlackBerry Storm is coming out exclusively for Verizon.

I have At&t and i always have full signal. It just depends on where you live, usually the service provider has a coverage map

If you like the I phone, but want a different service provider you can order an unlocked version of the phone from Japan or Australia, and you can choose whichever service provider you want
