In a recent Consumer Reports, they evaluated cell phone service in
different cities in the US. In the Seattle area, Sprint was the worst.
The order of service was T-Mobile, Verizon, Cingular and Sprint.

Sprint did do better in a very few other cities - Miami, Minneapolis-St
Paul, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco and was most highly rated in
Washington DC (2nd on the list).
