dear sir,

No #15, I think you are completely missing the point. Just because a poorly researched article on the internet questions Alltel's claim of having the largest network (in terms of geographical area covered natively) does not make the claim bogus. Look at the maps posted above...the only other carrier that comes close to having as much native coverage (in terms of geographical area) as Alltel is Verizon.
Why are you comparing Alltel's "native" map to the other providers' maps that include roaming areas? If that is the comparison you wish to make, should you not use Alltel's "National Freedom" map, rather than a map of their licensed areas? Or if you wish to only include native coverage, (which is what Alltel is really claiming--the largest native network in terms of land area covered) you should compare the Alltel map shown to maps of the other carrier's "native" service areas.
last try...how about it?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
