Best carrier to have with Nexus Prime

Sprint, at least in my area, has horrible coverage. Whenever I used to travel I would always lose signals and have dropped calls.

Tmobile is the same. My SO had tmobile for a few years before getting on my plan. Lots of dead areas and dropped calls because of it.

Vzn and att are tied for first imo. Great coverage, fewer dead zones. Some might say blah blah lte and fake 4g. Well att lets you talk and surf, but vzn has faster internet. A wash for me. Cant go wrong with either unless you want more android subsidized phones. Then vzn is the winner.

That little saying only works for the iPhone now. Any LTE phone on Verizon can talk and surf at the same time and my Thunderbolt can do that even on 3G.
 
Verizon has the best coverage in the country; I don't think anyone can dispute that. Moreover, their 4G LTE is unmatched by any other carrier. Hands down, Verizon is crushing the competition right now. Likewise, they are crushing their customers with their prices. I'd like to see some decent competition, so prices will be lowered.
 
For me, Verizon will be the obvious choice. Just got back from a trip to Eureka Springs in Arkansas, I live in Central Ark. I have Epic 4G through Sprint and I had no service the entire trip. As soon as I got about 20 miles outside of my town I was in the dark. It was so frustrating not being able to get local eateries/things-to-do lists from my phone, or even a friggin map! Even in town the only spot I got service was at the top of the Crescent Hotel. Thank god for the Nexus Prime coming up, if its as good as it looks I'll happily break contract to get off this godawful network.
 
As long as service is good, I would go GSM (T-Mobile or AT&T). That way you're on the same Nexus variant as most other countries, which means increased developer support. But that's just me :)

Depending on where you live and if you are grandfathered vzw. With 4g I can talk and surf. I do it all the time on my overextended, slightly boring conference calls.

I've been reading posts from disappointed Sprint apple phone speeds. Sprint network isn't holding up. If Nexus looks good to me, will move to Verizon or AT&T. I'm leaning toward at&t to get back on same carrier as my wife. I'm mostly on wifi.

I hope ice cream Sandwhich brings the same email layout of Gmail to the other stock email.
 
I've read through most of the information that came out last night in Hong Kong.

The LTE / Verizon version phone will be thicker either due to extra radios or battery or both.

I'm seriously thinking about moving to AT&T. I truly don't use my 4G on my Nexus that often and keep it turned off.

How about European travel. Wouldn't the AT&T phone be the best choice or is it sim locked?
