Well, this completely depends on your personal needs and your location.

Sprint PCS

The Good:

• Better Pricing
• Reliable Voice and Data Coverage, nationwide.

The Bad

• Horrible customer service (which is improving)
• The monthly bill can sometimes "spontaneously rise" each month
• The coverage isn't as large as the other two providers. Where coverage is available, they have superior coverage, however.

Overall, I wouldn't go to Sprint PCS. They cover major areas and roads more than rural areas. They always change price plans and most people are not happy with their customer service.

AT&T

The Good:

• Rollover minutes
• National Coverage
• Some pretty cool devices

The Bad:

• They advertise a better 3G experience, but they have one of the smallest 3G networks.
• Pricing is high
• Dropped calls are higher than most other carriers.
• General call quality also suffers
• Customer Service varies and some days may seem excellent and others are horrible.

AT&T suffers but has drastically improved since they held the Cingular name. Their pricing is high, the same as Verizon, except they include rollover. Their customer service could definitely be improved; however, they are taking steps to improve it (like optional surveys). Their 3G network is hardly able to be called "national". They are expanding this quickly, however.

Verizon Wireless

The Good:

• Large coverage area (3G and voice is nationwide)
• Cool devices (like the Moto DROID)
• Great customer service (with almost every call)
• Excellent retail stores experience
• Options for everyone (a variety of prepaid and contract plans that allows you to be in control)

The Bad:

• Expensive (and no rollover)
• They are slower to release new things (because of extensive testing).

Verizon Wireless is the carrier I use and always will. I travel many miles per year across the U.S. and have not found one carrier that covers me completely the entire way, the entire time. I have been pleased by their customer service and their plan offerings. I feel like I need to take out a loan to pay them, sometimes, though.

I have used all three carriers above and still test devices on all three carriers above.
