Cell Phones - Best Coverage in NYC?

So, I have a two-year Verizon contract that has just expired, and I'm trying to decide whether I want to stick with Verizon when I start FT in New York or switch to another carrier, say, AT&T. (I've searched the forums already regarding transferring my phone number to my company BB and have decided to stick with two phones, so no need to rehash that issue, unless you have any major objections.)

Assuming that I default to Verizon, though, what are the top phones that you'd suggest? It seems like the LG EnV 3 seems to be pretty highly rated. Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

In a lot of BBs, including the one that I work for, usually you would have just data on the work BBerry, and phone/data on the regular phone - this way the combined bill is usually under the cap, and you can be reimbursed for both. Again, different situations always apply, but a lot of guys I know play it off this way, and it works well for them. Disclaimer: I have a single phone for both data and personel - the only downside is no text messaging because it is classified as a corporate phone (although I owned it before starting).

i hate it when i get a new phone, two weeks later they introduce a better version of it.

I'm making it up as I go along.

The network among the major carriers in NYC are relatively similar. There may be places where one network excels more than another, and everyone on Verizon will tell you their network is the best mostly because of the ads.

I think the phone itself will be a better differentiating factor. Lots of noise around the iPhone 3G S, but don't forget to check out some other cool phones like the Palm Pre (Sprint) or a new Google Android phone coming out to T-Mobile.
