Conclusion: None of these carriers are perfect, but they can really enhance the overall iPhone experience in a different way. Pick Sprint for cheap, unlimited data. Verizon Wireless is the best bet for reliable 3G access.

So what's the bottom line? It looks like you're going to get a relatively positive data-downloading experience no matter which carrier you choose, if only because you will be able to download data. If call reliability is paramount, stick with Verizon, and if you want to use a lot of data but don't care about speed, go with Sprint. The iPhone 4S has a few notable improvements over the iPhone 4, including a faster dual-core A5 chip and an 8-megapixel camera capable of p HD video capture.

If you're a Sprint customer, you might be happy that you have an iPhone at all, 4S or not. Now, just because it's got the same innards doesn't mean you'll get the same experience across the board. Data plans are different for each carrier, too, as are customer service and the terms of your early-termination fees. Also, keep in mind that even though Sprint and Verizon both operate on CDMA networks, if you buy an iPhone 4S for one carrier, you won't be able to swap it to another, so if you pick Sprint or Verizon, you're stuck unless you want to buy your device anew.

So choose wisely. We'll perform a deeper test of the iPhone 4S in the weeks following the launch, but in the meantime we've put together a guide that might help you decide which carrier to go with if you're in the market for the new iPhone 4S.
