pn-210 and opinions on wireless services?

Hello. The pn-210 cell phone comes free with Verizon wireless service. Anyone familiar with this phone? Is it any good? I don't need a camera, all the bells and whistles, etc. I just need to get a good connection.

Also - I've had T-Mobile for a while and it's the worst. I leave the state (NY) and can't get my calls. What does everyone think the best wireless service is? Verizon? Singular? Opinions please.

Thank you
