I read all the other responses, and I'm sure they are all pretty
accurate for GSM coverage in the recent past. Right now, AT&T has just
enhanced their network, lots more coverage at 850MHz, also sharing more
towers with Cingular, and I'm not so certain that those previous
responses would be accurate today. Maybe they are accurate today, but
who can really say since this coverage is new? I've been a Verizon user
for the last few years, a happy user, and I am also interested in how
AT&T's system compares TODAY, and even a few months from now. My 2 year
Verizon contract just expired, and I must admit that AT&T's selection of
phones and price plans are appealing.
I think that I'm going to take advantage of AT&T's 30 day trial offer on
their service and phone (The V600 seems very cool), while still keeping
my Verizon service. I travel everywhere in the tri-state NY-NJ-CT area,
even make my way to Philly and upstate NY, so I'll be able to get a good
read on how their new actual GSM coverage area compares to Verizon's.
May the best company win.
