It all depends upon where you live, In some areas Verizon is better, in
other areas Cingular is better, in other areas T-Mobile is better, and in
other areas Sprint is better. Get the idea? No one provider is really
"better". It all depends upon where you live, work, and plan to use the
phone. That is why all carriers have a trial period. I suggest that you take
full advantage of the trial period.
