We live in northern Illinois. Just northwest of us, for a fairly large chunk of Wisconsin, there is NO COVERAGE AT ALL. Not talking 3G, we're talking-talking. Unfortunately, Verizon has at least, voice service in most of the state. That points my wife in the direction of a Droid instead of an iphone, though she would really like one. It's not the middle of Montana, or Death Valley. it's the Midwest. So ATT has to step up to the plate on both voice AND 3G for those of us that do not live in a huge metro.
