I'm about to get a new Treo 650 in Houston, TX. I narrowed the carriers down to Cingular and Verizon. The pricing for the phone is as follow: Cingular priced it at $419 after a rebate when the voice and data plan is purchased. Verizon priced it at $299 after a $100 rebate when the voice and data plan is purchased. The monthly plan rates are about the same.

Now, my question is which has the better coverage to make best use of the Treo 650 ? Cingular or Verizon ?

I do not see why to pay > $100 to Cingular just for the phone. I even see cheaper deals online to buy the Treo 650 but those are after mail in rebate and I don't like the hassle of returning it or other customer service issues when purchasing it online.

Any help would be much appreciated.
