Verizon or att?

I am trying to decide between the Storm 2 and the iPhone and to me one of the most deciding factors is going to the the provider. I have a couple questions.

1. Is the 3G map that Verizon constantly puts on their commercials true?

2. The guy at Verizon told me that you mostly run on 2G speeds with ATT because their coverage is so crappy. I take that with a grain of salt since it was a guy from Verizon telling me that.

3. If I hit the ENTER button on the iPhone and the Storm 2 at the exact same time to go to a specific website, which one would get there first?

4. I guess a better question for #4 is what service provider is actually faster?

5. What do you think? Who is the better service provider?
