This may be due to the device and not the service. I have been told that as far as "coverage" goes, Verizon wins hands down! AT&T, however, is the only carrier that offers simultaneous data and voice - data usage while you are in the middle of a voice phone call. That's pristine!

I'm not sure if this is due to the GSM choice in band, or if it's just the way their system is tailored. Personally, I'd prefer that they "add" the other type bands (CDMA/TDMA, etc.) to the GSM in the iPhone so that you'd have the best of both worlds - multi-use during a call with AT&T's GSM, the capability of going worldwide with the GMS; "and" the CDMA/TDMA, etc. of the other guys so that you could use "their service" when you leave an AT&T GSM area, and maintain your phone/data usage.
