As for AT&T, I'm on them and reupped (actually moved to the GSM service) in exchange for a new Sony-Ericsson T637. Happy with it so far, but I'm getting used to the interface. My biggest complaint (and it's one others have made about it) is that it seems like all the buttons are rigged to create a connection to mMode, AT&T's data/web plan, which is itself not bad but subjects one to sizable data charges if one isn't careful.
the 637 is a candy-bar style if you prefer that to a flip. That means you sacrifice the "beam me up" capabilities that alex possesses. Alas.

My understanding is that ATT stopped network expansion once the deal was reached, and I have seen that in print in a couple of places. I'll try and find a link.
ATT coverage quality really depends on market. They suck donkey balls here in PHL, but friends who use ATT in other markets rave. The combined coverage promises to be spectacular.
And yeah, the t637 rocks. It's got everything that the v600 has in a candybar format. One disadvantage if you travel internationally, however, is that the t637 lacks the 900 mhz band that is widely used in Europe and south america.
