Default Re: Cingular ATT merger. Better coverage?

I've been with Verizon and Cingular, I'm currently with Cingular.
Verizon is more expensive for voice and data plans. Verizon cripples
their phones with proprietary requirements of leaving basic functions
out, such as the simple ability to transfer data directly to or from
your computer with either a wired sync or BT in favor of making you use
their expen$ive data connection. In my experience, Verizon's network
isn't any better than Cingular's, except maybe in data speed.

At least around where I live, Cingular's network has better coverage -
I have Cingular coverage where Verizon is dead, and I've yet to find a
place where Verizon has coverage where Cingular is dead.

Customer service wise, Verizon does have a slight edge up. But if you
don't need to talk to them, it doesn't really matter.
