Might switch back to Verizon in two years if they ever get with the program and make GSM phones without charging and arm and leg for them.

Same deal here. I just changed jobs and lost my old company provided Verizon BB. Thing about Verizon is the coverage here is outstanding & dropped calls were rare. Our road trip to SLC further enforced that - my wife's Sprint phone spent portions of the trip without signal where my Verizon phone was always live.
So wanting a GSM based phone I went with ATT. I REALLY wanted an Android based phone (as a SW developer how could I not) but ATT only had the Moto backflip which I really disliked. So...after much agonizing I went with a iPhone 3GS. Had my phone for a week and so far ATT is 'ok' - of my 23 calls thus far 4 were dropped. Home signal (and this is important) is strong. The iPhone is cool but I am hyper careful with it - feels like it will shatter on the first drop. If ATT offered a 'real' android phone I would have been all over it. Guess they don't want to screw with Apple business...
