It's not 100% certain yet, but it's a pretty good chance. It's between LA and San Fran.

Aww, I like my Bluetooth, it's useful in my car as my stereo has Bluetooth so I don't have to be a problematic driver if someone calls.
But my sister, brother, and one of my best friends all have AT&T and the iPhone, and the only complaint I've heard at all from anyone around here is that it doesn't pick up well indoors (eh, a potential problem, but also very common with cellphones in general). I do hate iTunes though. And ALL cellphone and computer companies lie in their stupid commercials.
Sprint's coverage is mediocre, in my experience. That's who I have, and it needs to change. I also am really itching to ditch my current phone. I'm going to be plopping out some money just because of the phone issue if nothing else.
Verizon does have the best coverage in the areas I need it in, and even one place that would be spiffy but not essential - as the ONLY carrier that supplies the area, a remote little northeast TN town in the middle of some mountains. But it's also very expensive, especially if I want to ditch fees for calling people I'd call often. If I did take Verizon, I'd get a Blackberry.
AT&T and the iPhone are looking more and more like they'll fit me the best personally. With several family members and a frequently-called friend already on there, I wouldn't have calling fees. And keeping my current number would keep home-area calls free too. The coverage area is much better than Sprint. Plus, aside from the cost of the iPhone, it's MUCH cheaper per month than the other two for us. Hm, currently $120+, versus $140 or $90. Yeah.
You do have a point with T-Mobile's coverage in CA though, but it's still not so great in KY and TN.
And if Sprint is shown to be lacking in the area we're likely to move, we won't have contract-breaking fees.
