We had the opportunity to test coverage once for the fun of it.

Tower had a 1900 MHz AT&T at top and 800 MHz Cingular right below
it. We took two Nokia 61xx phones running in field diagnostics mode
which displays signal level in one dB increments. In a rural
environment and walking into small business, open road in a truck,
on foot...both phones had similar coverage.
