you need to weigh whats more important to you - service & coverage, or flashy phones.
Verizon has the best service IMO. I've had them for close to 11 years and outside of a few dead spots on Staten Island, I never have reception issues. The phones they offer are decent, but they're pretty limited. Last time I got a new phone, there were maybe 8-10 models to choose from, with at least 4 of them being absolute pieces of garbage. Like Gooch said that might have changed, I've had my phone for 2 years now. I got text & internet, but Im thinking of dropping the interent - it's not worth the $$, and it's nowhere near like using the net at home or at work (on a PC).
Just make sure, no matter where you go, you get the best deal overall - and don't let them snow you to a more expensive plan becuase of "more free minutes" because what good are they if you don't use them? (Assuming you don't, if you do then by all means go for it).
