Any thoughts as to the differences for data between these three carriers? On cost there does not seem to be any noticaeble difference between Cingular and Verizon. For email are they about the same?
In my area for voice, Verizon has the top spot at least by reputation though people I know use Cingular and say there are no problems. Are there noticeable differences, marketing aside?

ATT and VZW have the 2 largest networks and are both expensive. TMobile is a better value for BB data, but in general their coverage is not as good. If TMobile roams on another carrier, then your BB will work seamlessly like it is on TMobile. I think what you need to do is figure out where you will use your BB. If TMobile has good coverage where you are likely to use it, than I say, save the money and go with TMobile.
VZW reputation means nothing. The only thing that matters is how a carrier works where YOU need them to work. An inexpensive BB dataplan is worthless if it doesnt work when and where you need it.

Sure 3G is faster... but not that much faster. IMHO - 3G is overrated by a lot of people.
I'm using my BlackBerry on T-Mobile and I never had a complaint about the speed of data on my device. Email will be virtually the same thing - the only place you could gain any difference w/the 3G is when browsing. Your pages may load 2-3 seconds faster... Watch out now! Also, you'll notice a little difference when using things like map apps. But like I said - It's not really a big deal unless you are streaming stuff or downloading BIG files (those seconds add up in the end).
Anybody disagree?
