I'm a firm believer in picking the most reliable network in the area that i'll be making the most calls from and then picking the phone that I like the best.

Having the latest/greatest phone that doesn't work because the network blows is frustrating.

That being said, I've been on Verizon for the last 4 years and have had little to no coverage problems all over the U.S. as I traveled. (I'm in the NY/NJ/CT/LI area 90% of the time now).
