Talk to me of Verizon versus TMobile versus AT&T (formerly Cingular)

I want to hear the shite as well as the praise. Looking to see who has what phone, and how you like it as well. For the first time I don't really have a Kyocera phone option, and Motorola isn't too thrilling to me right now.

I'm going to do my due diligence, but I'd like some current stats to also weigh in.

(I'm thinking of switching from Verizon to TMobile. I have an Icon I need to make at home for this. T-Punkt. *grins*)

ETA - I just wrote this in response to a comment by depotmode and I think it would be useful here -

....If I can't get reception in my living room, it's not worth it. I have a Virgin Mobile SIM for the UK, which has pretty decent rates, and excellent roaming coverage throughout Europe.

I'm pretty sure what I REALLY want is One Phone to Rule Them All - unlocked, and I just switch out SIMs when I hop the Pond.

The network that gives that to me, plus coverage of D00M! is teh wiener.

From a GSM network perspective, from what my soon-to-be boss told me, AT&T's network is the best when it comes to country-hopping. Given that this company's employees are spread out all over the world--and that it's a trade association that monitors standards for mobile wireless devices--I'd put a small bit of stock into that. ;)

From a pure phone standpoint, I haven't the foggiest. :P

Ah see, now when I ask about AT&T/Cingular, I pretty universally had gotten "I SPIT on their grave!" especially after the merger. I frankly included them in here for completeness. *grins* Unless I get a serious recommend for their service, I doubt I'll go there.

Country hopping, maybe, but if I can't get reception in my living room, it's not worth it.

I have to deal with AT&T/BellSouth here for a landline (security system), and they suck balls. All around. I would never recommend them...though if I wind up staying with this company for awhile and need to travel it may become necessary to revisit. *sigh*

I'd go with TMobile...if you can get service in your living room. ;)
