AT&T or T-Mobile wireless service in Chicago?

Purchasing the BB Curve and these are the only two service providers for the phone. Between the two, who has the better service in Chicago?

TIA

I just switched from tmobile to at&t and I've noticed more coverage in my area. Also At&t supports 3G & HSDPA (fast data/internet) which tmobile does not (yet). Tmobiles data plan is considerably cheaper though.

I have both T-mobile and AT&T. AT&T drops more calls in my daily driving route, but the data is much faster and only carrier if you need an iphone.

In Chicago, it's about the same. AT&T will have better nationwide coverage though on their home network. As Kayman pointed out, T-mobile is much cheaper.

Kind of a thread jack(sorry)...What about Verizon vs AT&T? I'm thinking of switching so I can get an iPhone.

I'm more concerned about the service itself (ie. number of dropped calls).
