A lot has to do with tower congestion too. I might be piggy backing onto the same tower as AT&T but if the frequency bands are different, my signal is going to be different. I got my Nexus S today and so far, so good. It was a joke to root and I've already got a custom kernel on it that out performs any of the new Dual Core offerings except for MAYBE the Exynos in Galaxy S2. Fantastic phone.

Like Fuury I also live in the Northeast (Mass) and had Verizon for the longest time. Reception was very good, coverage was good except when I started going through the cranberry bogs I switched to AT&T a year ago because I wanted to try an iPhone plus my wife has AT&T through her work so the calling would be a bit cheaper between us. They compare pretty much apples to apples with Verizon. My wife complained about the coverage in the house so when we went to the local AT&T company store they ended up selling us a "Microcell". Come to find out, my wife's crackberry was 2G (brand new this year from her company, go figure) so we bought her an iPhone3G (on sale for $49). Frnakly, I cannot tell any difference between Verizon and AT&T as far as connectivity is concerned here in New England.

Come up to Maine and it is a different story. I have Verizon and I have a good friend with AT&T and where i have 3G coverage she barely has anything at all... heh.

I had three bars in the house with Sprint but could never make a call

I have zero bars in the house with Verizon but can make calls with no problem

I have 1-2 bars with sprint and I haven't dropped anything yet. This is versus the usual 0-1 with AT&T and the daily dropped call fun. The only down side so far, that I can see, is that Sprint's 3G speed is unquestionably slower than AT&T. I'm getting around 6-700 kbsec versus the 1300 I was getting with AT&T.

Well here's another update. I'm still getting low signal where I am and I spoke to someone at sprint about it. I didn't even have to ask; they are sending me a free Airave. I haven't had any issues with cell quality and I more wanted to see how their customer support would handle the problem.

Fifteen minutes on the phone with Sprint and I received better service from them than I have in 4 years with AT&T.
