I'll be staying with AT&T. Good service and it's cheaper than Verizon.

I came from Sprint when the first iPhone was released so I know how bad their service can be. I remember sitting at a stop light once and dropping a call.
 
For me it's going to really depend on pricing, but I know for sure that I'll never go with T-mobile. I'm leaning towards AT&T because of the talking and texting at the same time and the sim cards but I'm contract free with Sprint and have a special kind of account (not sero) that allows me to get heavily discounted plans that are not available to the public. If I'm able to get special discounts for the iPhone and Sprint offers unlimited data then it's going to be a no brainier, Sprint for sure. We shall see how this all plays out, but like most things, I'll believe it when I see it.
 
I just signed a two year contract with Verizon after ditching AT&T, so I will be sticking with them since I have no real reason to switch at this point.

I just did the same thing a few months ago and I couldn't be happier with them and how they have handled things when there is a problem. With AT&T we were always calling every month. Verizon ftw(for the win) :)
 
If the iPhone comes to all four of the major US carriers, then I'll pick on up on T-Mobile. If it is still only AT&T and Verizon, then I will have a harder time choosing since both have good coverage in my area. Maybe AT&T because their 3G speeds are faster than Verizon's.
 
I would prefer T-Mobile due to their better and more down-to-Earth Plans, but their 3G service is not compatible with the iPhone 5 (different frequency); only EDGE works with the current iPhones. (Apple, please support T-Mobile's 3G!!!).

Assuming the Rumors are true, if T-Mobile gets the iPhone, then the iPhone will get updates to support T-Mobile 3G frequencies.

For me I have to say it is too soon to tell. I may be staying with AT&T since I locked in unlimited data. I still keep thinking I should have locked in unlimited with VZW while I had the chance.
