Anyone in OC have T-Mobile?

Our 2 year contract with AT&T come Cingular is up in a couple months. We've been pretty unimpressed with both our coverage and the customer service and would prefer to change providers.

As I'm shopping around, T-Mobile is looking attractive for a couple reasons. Their plan is cheaper than any of the other major options, they seem to have better phone deals, and they only require a 1 year contract to get those phone and plan deals.

But then I look at their coverage map and it looks pretty spotty. I'm just wondering if this is just a case of too much information on their part. Most companies' coverage maps are not exactly detailed. They just show large areas that are basically "covered" or "not covered". T-Mobile's coverage map goes down to the street level and shows ranges of coverage from "none" to "great". So it looks like large areas of "fair" coverage with scattered (densly, but still scattered) islands of "good" to "great". It makes their coverage appear pretty spotty. But then I wonder if every company's map would look like this if they went into as much detail.

So does anyone have T-Mobile in OC? What's your coverage like?
