While it ticks me off sometimes, I really can't get too mad when I have a dropped call while moving. Considering the number of times the signal gets handed off between cell tower to cell tower while moving, the number of dropped calls is very small.

"The appeal of the iPhone (besides the fact that it's a wicked kewl device) is the relatively cheap cost of the plan which includes cell phone service and unlimited data usage - and a much broader data coverage area than the parking lot of the J or one of their affiliates."

So there's your answer Moot. Yeah, the scheme has merit.

But like DieselDiva said, you might want to talk to as many expediter AT&T customers as you can, cause you're gonna take a coverage and call quality hit compared to Verizon. Compare coverage maps very closely.
