Verizon and sprint are very pricey. If you want a cool phone go with Tmobile or Cingular. And if you want to be cheap go with t-mobile. ---

GO USE THE 14 day trial period for every phone service out there the one that you like the most and works best, get. btw, check with your employer to see if you get a discount with any particular one. ---

Coverage I would say Cingular and Verizon are the same now because of the ATT acquisition. GSM \> CDMA because it’s more advanced technology. Dare I say it, SIM card… HELLO QUALCOM, GET WITH IT MAN!! What is Verizon gonna do when full 3G GSM is available through T-mobile and Cingular? You can’t stay with CDMA forever… [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/going-with-a-new-cell-phone/3867.md?page=2)
