No need to prove it....I use Verzion (95% of the time) myself so I can echo your comments. For me they are far superior than Cingular in the areas I live/travel.

The only downside to using a Blackberry with them is the the no data roaming and as NJBlackberry pointed out no international coverage. I travel to the Caymans twice a year, and I use a Cingular Blackberry down there.
