Not scientific, just an observation.
A year ago, that was absolutely true. Right now, they are kind of neck and neck. Check back in a year or so.

You gotta watch leaping to conclusions... you might get hurt!
Even if there were coverage issues, there is a lot more to a network than simply coverage. You can say not reaching a tower is everything, but to many of us getting to a tower that doesn't provide the service we need makes the system useless. That's why we don't all use one network.

To bad it's on AT&T's cheesy network or I'd switch myself.
That's why the IPhone is going 3G. AT&T now has 3G service (I have it on my laptop with AT&T's 875U USB card). Now the service will be on the new IPhones, because they now are 3G capable (or at least when they are released).
Yes, but even where they say they have 3G it is spotty at best, I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and they won't confirm or deny if they offer 3G here, they won't say which market at all, they only give generalizations. but I digress, since I have a blackjack and use their dataplan, Here in Livermore, I get 3G at the sports club, but not at my house, in Hayward where my wife works, she gets 3G at the burrito shop, but not at the convalescent home she goes to. When I drive the opposite direction toward the central valley the same thing happens, you get 3G in one place but not another, all within the same town. Now when you are on 3G it is great, when you are on the EDGE network, it crawls, and when trying to download email it drops out. When you call customer service, to complain about dropped calls. they told my wife it must by the other persons phone, when she tells them she was calling me, who has another att phone, they then don't know what to say. I am waiting for our contract to expire. My wife is on her 3rd defective blackjack, after a week of arguing with them, they are going to replace it with a moto Q, hopefully that will help with her problems. it was not that long ago I was singing there praises, but no more.

need to see pricing, I know they raised the dataplan pricing $10 per month, and for the GPS, for my wifes new Moto Q and the ATT network, there is an additional charge to use the gps feature, that is another $10 per month. so you could be looking at $20/month then the current iphone, so you will get the phone cheaper, but pay more per month, nothing is free I guess.
Yeah, the new data plan price adds another $240 over the required 2 year contract, so the $199 iPhone is really $439. So it's not really "half the price".

If you have a current Iphone unlock it and sell it I imagine people wanting to stay out of a contract extension and / or keep their currentt plan will pay through the nose for them.
Mines already jail broke and unlocked the new 3g's that will not really be possible because of the in store activation so the old phones are actually worth more than the new ones, considerably more.
