BB 7290 with Cingular. I'm happy with the service. I switched from Verizon because I want to be able to send and receive emails outside the US.

BB 7510 With a 7520 on it's way

I've been a BlackBerry user since January-ish. My 'Berry has blown ANY Nextel phone I have had out of the water. If start to get a choppy call I just raise the antenna and it's fine. With any phone (i600,i60,i90,i95cl,i730,i830) I wouldn't be able to make a call in my house, let alone the basement. With the BlackBerry I perfect service upstairs, and sporatic service downstairs.

Once you go BlackBerry, You never go back.

I'm in Richmond, Virginia using a Sprint PCS (Red network) Blackberry 7250. Network coverage is awesome and sound quality is very good. One interesting tidbit: Sprint's PRL's prefer analog roaming in some areas, but since this phone is digital-only it will seek a digital signal in those places (unless forbidden by the PRL), so quality of voice service can be considered better on a Blackberry than another Sprint PCS device.

Data is very responsive, and though only available on Sprint's native network (Red side) that in itself covers a lot of ground.

All around good experience.

Coverage is great outside. Inside of any building I'm lucky to get 1 bar. For example at work I get full 5 bars. Inside I usally go between 1 bar and no coverage. T Mo seems to be this way everywhere I've been. Pretty good service outside and terrible inside. Even in philly my coverage was spotty in the gallery mall downstairs. Same in NY, on the subways it sucked and at street level it was great.

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada
7100r / 7280 / 7290 (primarily the 7290 for personal use, rest for admin/testing etc)
service provider is Rogers, coverage is excellent in Charlottetown, drops as you head to the north shore, gone completely when I turn into my house.
Rogers tech support is erratic - it's been great or useless, nothing in between!

In brief, how's the quality of their service? (ie: dropped calls, reception, network errors, etc) Excellent so far. Occasionally dropped calls as you travel west on the 401 toward T.O and on the 417 north to Ottawa. Worse when travelling by train!

Well, I have two stories. I was with T-Mobile and just recently switched to Verizon. So....
I live in Chicago.

Outstanding Service. T-Mobile is one of the best. Great call quality and the BB service is very good too. GPRS is a little slow but. Coverage is not as all inclusive as Cingular or Verizon but where they have coverage it is generally great.

Verizon
$79.99 450 min n/w and IN calling and unlimited BB
BB 7250
Signal isn't as strong all over in Chicago like T-Mobile (apparently T-Mobile is #1 in Chicago) but call quality is great and coverage is solid. Data speeds over 1xRTT is considerably and noticably fast tham GPRS on T-Mobile.

I switched to Verizon mainly for national coverage and better penetration in buildings. But I do want to make clear that T-Mobile is an outstanding carrier with great service and CS. To be honest, I'm almost sad to leave T-Mobile but there data just wasn't up to par and I'm not sure where their roadmap for data is going.

Phone service compares with regular cell phone - mostly good. Very few drops but some bad areas. Data seems reliable, but slow. I don't have anything to compare it to except DSL & a regular PC.
