Who Sucks Less: Cingular, Verizon or Sprint?

Verizon passed on carrying the iPhone, reportedly because Apple demanded too much control. For that I am grateful. I don't want a carrier to intentionally cripple my phone again. Still, Cingular AT&T better remember (which Sprint has apparently forgotten) that call quality matters. Few people I've talked to have fond memories of AT&T Wireless or Cingular from the earlier part of this decade. As the release date draws closer, I hope more publications start investigating the business models of the big three carriers to showcase how far behind they operate Europe and Asia.
