I know for sure, at least 6 years ago, that Sprint had about the worst network coverage of any wireless carrier in my general (Houston, TX) area.
On top of that, during the past 3 years I had a work-issued nextel, that while much better than anything I had with Sprint, didn't work for squat inside any buildings I frequented, and I had several 'dropped calls' when I was stationary--go figure. Full signal, then bam, call dropped.
From my perspective (again Houston, TX) Verizon Wireless has the best coverage while simltaneously having the worst customer service/customer policies/rates of any US wirless carrier.
I can't speak to Cingular's service, never having any dealings with them, nor knowing anyone who uses it, but I have been a happy T-Mobile customer for the 6 years since I broke the chains of Sprint PCS bondage, and while their coverage may not be the 'ultimate' their customer service has been top-notch, and I haven't had a contract for 5 years.
