Just a thought...this thread would be most useful if everyone posted where they run, so we know what region each service is working in. I can see east coast, with the population density, being must less of an issue than western drivers have with signal.

Currently using Verizon, had Nextel for a while, their Direct Connect was great but the phone service was the pitts! Now merged with Sprint they have new phones that handle the Sprint phones service along with the Nextel Direct Connect. From what I understand the service is outstanding, but the phone's battery life is pitiful.

The ones with the low battery time are the new Motorola Hybrid phones.

Ther verizon air card is awesome. I have used it everywhere. Anyplace I can get a faint cell signal, I can get online. Only place I have ever had a problem was Kingman, AZ. Not sure why. Verizon is great. I have also heard a lot of great things about Alltell.

Ive had sprint, cingular, tmobile, and boost. There have always been dead spots and dropped calls at my house. One of my friends had verizon and still had the same problem! The only reason i have boost is for the pay as you go feature.

Now and days with the unlimited plans for $99 there is no need to stay with any company that you constantly drop calls with.
