Which company has the best cell phone service?

[Fuster_Cluck]

I'm more concerned with phone service as in: COVERAGE, dropped calls, signal. Once I figure out the provider I will look for a phone with the features I listed below. Sorry, I was vague with what I am looking for.


I searched with no results. I would of thought this has been discussed before. If so, please post the link.

My contract with Nextel is up in April. From the dropped calls, charges for spam text messages, frequent "NO SERVICE" , battery life on the I830.... Nextel is seeing the last of me

My girl wants me to go with Sprint, but I don't want to since they merged with Nextel. She says the service is fine out in Texas where she is at this time.

I was thinking Cingular or Verizon.

Features I would like on my next phone:
--camera
--good battery life
--speakerphone
--video would be nice
--memory card slot
--capable to view pics and video uploaded from a pc
--listen to mp3's through headphones I upload from my pc

I'm not cool enough for Bluetooh ....IMO, it has become a fashion statement and I wouldn't be caught dead wearing one!!
