As far as I know, some places I frequent (such as the family in Macoupin County) only have coverage by AT&T...
I'm exited by two things: a major OS upgrade and a touch screen. I have already started thinking about my next upgrade - and those are two big things I must have. I'd like to stick with BB - and maybe by the time I do upgrade (not for 15 months) they will have a decent touchscreen offering. And by the way, I really cannot complain too much about call quality or coverage with AT&T. I can complain that neither the town that I live in nor the one I work in are 3G yet, but I very seldom drop a call - must be due to the low population density. (a birdie told me that Jacksonville will be 3G by the end of the year - I hope it was an owl and not a dodo that told me that.) --Michael T.
