T-Mobile does have good prices. I have tried them in the past but lack of a solid 3G network once I step foot in my house is something that I could not live with.

Agreed, it is a bit annoying, until they give the 3g a boost there is always wifi....right? Someday.........Somehow........

I travel constantly and I need my phone to work every where I go in the western US & Canada, so for me the obvious choice was Verizon. I have tried them all and Verizon has been the most reliable of all carriers.

Been with Sprint for 10 years, get great service in the US, Canada and Mexico. 25% off my bill and the Everything Plan on 2 lines with nights and weekends @ 6, pic 5 and Any Time Any Mobile all for $116 after taxes and insurance. Can't be beat.

verizon. best network coverage hands down (for me at least) great customer service (doesn't hurt that a friend is a manager for them) and since i use virtually no minutes (like maybe an hour or 2 a month) i just kept my line on a family plan, so ~$50 a month for data + unlimited texts, and more minutes (still) than i can use. best of both worlds

and now verizon getting some good fun phones is the trifecta.

I would say Sprint but by a small margin.

Would love to pay Sprint prices for Verizon coverage(and maybe Verizon exclusive phones). I'm definitely more than pleased with Sprint's customer service though.

Really no surprise to me to see the CDMA carriers leading the way here. We need some GSM Android devices!
