ITT: Cell phone service
Everyone sucks.
T-Mobile doesn't have a good selection of phones.
Verizon has the Droid, which seems to be decent.
AT&T has the iPhone which kicks ass, but their 3G coverage isn't as good as Verizon's.
I don't know much about USC or Sprint.
I'm hoping things improve within a few years, since everyone is working on next-gen networks and everyone is duking it out over phones.
What service+phone do you have and why do you love/hate it?

I use Virgin and it works fine for me. I have a pay as you go plan, which is cheaper for me than a monthly. Also, I've experienced excellent coverage everywhere that I use it.
The only downside for me is sometimes they send me annoying text messages.

I just switched to Straight Talk, which is a prepaid deal on Verizon's network, and so far so good.
$30/month for 1000 minutes, 1000 texts, 30MB of data (web/pix)
OR
$45/month for unlimited everything
And since it's on Verizon's network, I don't have to worry about not getting signal even in small town Ohio.
