AT&T versus Verizon 3G coverage

A lot of folks are anxiously awaiting the iPhone 3G and taking advantage of the AT&T 3G network but as Gear Diary points out unless you’re in a fairly top market area you might not get 3G coverage.  The AT&T coverage map they produced got me to wondering how the AT&T coverage compares to that of Verizon’s BroadbandAccess (3G) network so off I went looking to find out.  Here is a direct comparison of the national 3G coverage of the two major carriers:

Note that on the AT&T map above blue is 3G.  Click on either map to enlarge a bit.  Verizon has the 3G coverage award but AT&T is definitely catching up.
