Right now I have phones with Verizon and Sprint, just dumped a phone with T-Mobile, my thoughts on these three carriers...
Verizon - with out a doubt the best coverage of any of these three, I have a house on top of a mountain in western NC and I get full "5 bar" coverage there all the time. However, based on the way I use my phone 3000 - 4000 minutes per month their unlimited package with international usage is the highest of the three.
Sprint - very close in coverage to Verizon, still have service in NC but usually only 3 or 4 bars, still works good and very easy to switch from Sprint service to another carrier like Verizon. Pertaining to cost, the $150 Verizon unlimited package is only $105 with Sprint.
T-Mobile - coverage in a word "sucks", if you are within a metro area you get decent but not great coverage, I got zero coverage in NC. Their cost is the least of any of these,. but you get what you pay for.
Phone....I am a big fan of the Blackberry's, have had Treo's and Audiovox 6700's, without a doubt the Blackberry is the best. Easy to use, very simple email set up regardless if it is apersonal or corparate account, it does not require a RIM server to use corporate email. You can have up to 5 separate email accounts with realtime sync. The Desktop Management software is also very easy to use, syncs contacts, calendar, etc directly with Outlook or other desktop applications. The Curve has a great camera for both still and video.
