I've been an AT&T customer for many years (formerly Verizon) and think it definitely has superior coverage in outlying areas (West County hill towns for instance).  The other nice advantage is that the data network is usable on AT&T *while* on a call while it is not on Verizon.  While I mostly should NOT appreciate this convenience I do,  it means I can see what new email have come in etc. even if I am talking on the phone on a headset for instance.  This is not possible on Verizon with iPhone.

This is an interesting myth that gets repeated by ATT in their ads so often people start to believe it...

I have a Verizon Droid and regularly use the data network while I'm on a call.  There's 
never been a problem.

Is there anyone who actually has had this problem on Verizon?
