My company has been a long time customer of AT&T Wireless and now I am
considering leaving them for Verizon.

It's very simple, their GPRS network is not ready - please I walk down
5th avenue in NYC and get disconnected. Verizon just seems to work a
lot better in the NJ / NY area.

Our account rep always recommends the Siemens S46 multiband phone -
I'm sorry this phone sucks even if you put it in TDMA mode only.
AT&T's TDMA network seems pretty good, but we all know that AT&T is
betting their future on GSM.

So goodbye AT&T Wireless!

Please note that you just stated that AWS's "FUTURE" is going to be dependent
on GSM.

It is not quite ready for prime time yet! Stay with them but only in the TDMA
mode and you should resolve your hapiness issue.

I guess you've never driven RT 78 E, then Garden St Parkway North and reverse.
Hard drops, large areas of low to no signal strength using TDMA. Phone Motorola
StarTac -- yes I'm a cell phone Luddite.
