AT&T's service is just ok. You do get 3G in Northampton, although it seems slower than other places I've been (e.g., Brattleboro). Take a look at one of the new Android phones, maybe the DroidX on Verizon. I don't have Verizon service so I can't really compare although I'm told it is better than AT&T's. (I was up in Norwich, VT today and my friend had 3G service on her Verizon phone while I had poorish EVDO connection. (I held an iPhone4 the other day in the Apple store and it is definitely a beautiful thing.) Good luck! There are no great solutions at this point - it's all tradeoffs.
