I have Nextel, mainly for the walkie-talkie feature, a lot of my co-workers and I use it during the day. Service with them has been good, but in August when my contract runs out I'm switching to at&t so I can get my iPhone! 
Verizon (pre-pay), all the way.
In rural NY where I live, Verizon is the only carrier that even remotely makes an efforts to come through - mostly it's got a strong signal even in the boonies.
Plus, all my friends have Verizon and it's free when you call another Verizon customer. at, least, the pre-pay is free...

at, least, the pre-pay is free...AT&T. We switched to Cingular from Verizon almost 4 years ago and haven't looked back. Plus, AT&T has the iPhone, so it's a natural fit for us. Signal wise, it's great where we live, Verizon is up there too. Verizon is great, but I'm not a fan of the Big Red OS they force on you.
I wish I could do the same. I have Verizon too and it sucks. Their damn VCAST thing is such a bad imitation of iTunes. And that cable that they sell to put music from the PC on to your phone doesn't even work. I bought it and connected it and it said that I never connected it >_< So I took the phone to a Verizon store to get it fixed. I went an hour later to get my phone back and they said 'We flashed your phone, it should work now'. They only saved my Contancts everything else was gone! (Pictures, etc)
Oh and it didn't even fix my phone. The only good thing I got out of it was that they replaced the actual phone so that it didn't have any of the scratches I had made on it. *sigh* [/rant]
Here in australia i use Vodafone. We have others like telstra, optus, Soul. Never had issues with vodafone
Sprint. Decent Sanyo phone. Service has always been pretty good. Our billing has been screwed up on numerous occasions which I would not have noticed, but my girlfriend is far more diligent than I. I believe we share 2000 minutes, 400 or 500 text messages, free early nights, weekends, Sprint to Sprint, roaming and long distance, all for around $92 a month. I think that's with some discount through her job. Our contract is up in a couple months but it looks like the iPhone is out of our budget so we will probably renew with Sprint. I honestly don't like any of the other phones out there at this point. They all seem like the same phones I've used for the last 4 years except with more features shoehorned into the same boring UI. That and they're a little more aerodynamic, and I don't need to tell you how important that is.
