All very good points. Except that it not good enough to check the maps but
to actually have a phone in hand and try it in the places you'll likely be
using the phone. In my case lack of coverage for TMo in my area drove me to
ATT. Just as lack of coverage for Cingular GSM after the merger keeps me on
TDMA.
