im not looking for 100% coverage but geees at least 65% would be nice,ive
changed sim cards till im blue in the face..but the att coverage is flat out
the worst.
I hear everyone talk about how great verizon is,I may just suffer with a
droid,and get an ipad.

I have a few days to figure out what I will do before my contracts is up.
