Yes I am partial to Cingular but i think Verizon is great as well. All you do is need to look at the provider maps. Tmobile is in 39% of the US population, Verizon is in 91% and Cingular is in 93%. This is not my opinion, it is fact. Tmobile focuses on cities, at lets rural area go. This fine if you spend 100% of your time in a city but i know i need move around once and a while.
