Alltel Retail store got accessories for the moto Q... The get the accessories about one week before phone comes out so i should be out to alltel here really soon 😉

ya like the best network and customer service in the industry. that would be terrible!

Eh. Both are varying opinion and marketing. They have a stong network and very good CS. But that doesn't mean that Alltel doesn't. Where I live Verizon stinks compared to Alltel. Do I think that VZW stinks? No. But they are not the best everywhere. Saying it in a commercial doesn't make it true. See Cingulars fewest dropped calls ads.

True, but a large part of that is marketing. Their commercials say it and most consumers don't know any better to be able to tell. Here is how I personally would rate network quality nationwide.

4. Sprint (Kind of a toss up with Cingular)
5. US Cellular
6. T-Mobile (Mostly just lacking coverage/towers, they generally have better voice quality then their Cingular GSM counterparts)
