I'm currently using T-Mobile with a Treo 270. The coverage in outstate 
has started to get better and its nice to be able to check e-mail and 
the likes in a pinch when I'm out of town. Very few drops over the last 
year and the voice quality is reasonable. Coverage can be a bit spotty. 
I recently took a trip to Marshfield, WI and there was no coverage once 
I left the metro area except for a few miles around Eu Claire.

Before that I had AT&T which worked fine. If coverage (especially 
nationally) is important, AT&T is the king. Two years ago I took a trip 
across Canada to Prince Rupert, up the Inside Passage to Seward, AK and 
then around the Anchorage area for a week or so. The only place in 
Canada that I didn't have coverage was Prince Rupert and most of the 
small towns that we sailed past on the way to Seward had AT&T digital 
service.  I'm headed back to Anchorage next month and I'll probably pick 
up an AT&T pre-paid phone for use while I'm there.

The one that pegged the useless/clueless scale was QWorst's cell 
service. Lots of dropped calls and customer service sucked.
