yeah most people I know from that part of the country have Verizon..vastly different from the South and Southwest where Cingular/Sprint dominate (no idea what goes on on the west coast). I would go with Verizon for the "IN" alone based on that fact. Although my sister has Cingular in NYC and doesn't seem to have any issues. What do your friends and family have?

I'm in NYC. People say Verizon is great, but I like unlocked GSM phones, so I stick with Cingular and Tmobile. I haven't had problems recently (I used to have problems with Cingular before they consumed ATT Wireless). My sister has Sprint and she gets dropped calls left and right.
