i had at&t gsm for about a week. coverage is absolutely atrocious in oakland and berkeley. i could hardly get any reception, had dropped calls-- it was particularly bad around the uc berkeley campus.

man, get att gsm only if you have an urge to smash your cell phone...I was close--very close to doing so several times. I live in SF and the reception is horrendous. Called ATT and they said very politely "Rest assured our gsm system will be state of the art in a few years" FEW YEARS!? Eat my A$$. you'll save lots of time, $ and frustration by pulling up to a payphone, or telegrams, morse code is a better choice than gsm/
On the other hand all my verizon buddies can get service locked in a steel cage with 4 inch walls in an underground parking lot in timbuktu. Its just not fair.
