In my business I have been able to meet some Product Managers from Nokia and I e-mailed one of them yesterday to see what he thought of Cingular versus T-Mobile and he told me that I shoudl go with Cingular for sure.
I am not saying that he right at all but thought that it was interesting to get his opinion also.

Can't speak for the KC area, but here in Colorado they are virtually the same coverage.
We switched from the old ATT (Cingular) to Tmobile when contract was up and it was the best thing that we ever did.
My vote is Tmobile.

If you want the most coverage, get Cingular. T-Mobiles has Half the coverage and alot of times roams on cingular anyways so it would be best to get Cingular for the most coverage.

Actualy if you check out the Coverage Maps between Cingular and T-Mobile you would see alot of T-mobiles coverage is Cingular and also T-Mobiles coverage area anyways is crap, you can clearly see its alot less than Cingular, and until you compare t-mobile with Cingular you cant talk. I have had both because of work but now my company is also on Cingular because of better coverage.

Not if you travel, Cingular has the most coverage when you travel, especialy if you dont stay on the city. My suggestion is to compare the Coverage maps to see which would suit your needs. Most likely Cingular.

If you do travel alot, particularly by car the remote sites, then neither Tmobile nor Cingluar is the best choice. Check out the CDMA providers like verizon and the coverage is the widest of all. The GSM folks are not there yet.

Cinguar actualy has alot more GSM coverage in the US than Verizon. I just switched from VZW to Cingular and the rual places I usualy traveled with Verizon were alot better and Digital with Cingular. Alot of Verizon's Coverage is Analog, but hopefully it will change? Cingular is ALL Digital for their customers now.

From what I understand, Cingular has the biggest network. However, Tmo has a lot of partnering agreements and allows you to roam, so that mitigates the problem. Cingular has a horrible customer service reputation. If you get coverage from Tmo, I'd go with them. Order a Nokia E61 from eBay! You could get a cheapie Tmobile2go sim ($10 on eBay) and try it out during a transition period; do some real-life coverage checks.
