Starting to feel like the AT&T vs Verizon is starting to become a flame war! Who would have thought?

Seems to me the AT&T ads are the deceptive ones. "75 percent of Americans – 233 million people – can access AT&T 3G services today WHERE THEY LIVE AND WORK." What about their route to work, in between cities, on a country road, etc. These are the places I am most desperate to get service, like if my car breaks down.
Also, recent ads read "AT&T covers 97% of Americans," implying that only 3% of wireless users in the US DON'T use AT&T (though VZW's got them beat pretty bad). The phrasing on their recent commercials has really been pissing me off.

the irony is all wireless carriers are deceptive...just look at their ads: "new iphone only $99"
BUT TRY FINDING THE TRUE PRICE, MONTHLY FEES, IN THE AD

Yet, AT&T's EDGE network runs about 85% of the speed of Verizon's best 3G.

For me, being able to be ON THE PHONE with someone who is panicked and lost while simultaneously being on Google Maps so I can give her directions is pretty cool.

Smart phones aren't worth using on a continual basis without 3G so I gotta agree with Verizon on this one. So Verizon not showing non-3G coverage is fine since it doesnt really matter that much...
