Submission + - Truth or Dare... What is the best US cell company?

Epsilon Eridani writes: I am returning to the U.S. after an extended time overseas and upon my return I need to jump head first into the data enabled phone bandwagon. I have to admit... I am lost as to what is the best company to choose. Before I left the U.S. I used a Sprint HTC phone running Windows with the "simply everything" plan to communicate and stay organized and a Sprint Wireless Card to connect my laptop to the world. Coming back several generations of technology later, what is the best set up technology-wise to link phone and laptop or two to the Internet? (Open source solutions accepted too!) Can the Slashdot community verify some of the claims on quality of service before I give my first born up when I sign a service contract? I have so many things to take care of upon my return your help, wisdom, and knowledge is greatly appreciated.

The Corpus Christi wireless cloud covers twenty square miles. The city uses it to report meter readings wirelessly. The money saved on meter reader's salaries pays for the wi-fi. It's publicly accessible to all. Interestingly, the ISP's are providing politcal funding to persuade the legislature to make public wi-fi illegal in Texas. If they are successful, the cities huge investment will be lost.
