I hope this is true as a T-mobile subscriber. T-mobile is great in cities, but it's terrible when you leave. You can make a phone call, but there will no Internet. I just finished a cross country road trip, and if I were ever to do one again, I would get a Verizon phone for a month.

I was a Sprint customer for years. From my experience, their coverage was not a whole lot better than T-Mobile's. I'd also hate to see them switch their networks to be more CDMA centric. CDMA should go away IMO.

With LTE, CDMA is going away. Both Verizon and Sprint have committed to going with world-common standards rather than staying with CDMA, which is dead anyway.

Agreed, but the time horizon on that is likely a decade at the least.

I also just finished a cross country trip and Verizon would not be a bad way to go. I purposely got a Verizon flavored iPad so that I would have multiple networks (AT&T mobile phone) and between the two I usually had coverage. AT&T slipped back to 4G/3G/EDGE and even GPRS (!) much more than Verizon did. But having both was great.
