ATTWS - TDMA or GSM for Western Oregon?

Since Cellular One (Rural Cellular) is swapping our area here in Oregon to ATTWS for another area in Alabama, we will be switching carriers soon, like it or not.

Since I'm ready for new phone anyway, I'm looking for input on current GSM coverage versus TDMA by ATTWS in the Northwest, especially in Oregon.

Should we go with TDMA phone or GMS or a combo if we go with ATTWS?

My current phone is old - TDMA/AMPS. I hate to give up the analog mode since I still seem to run into analog service when traveling around the state.

We'll be looking at Verizon as well, but their plans don't look as attractive as ATTWS, for what we need.

TIA.

If you're travelling in rural areas and your phone is coming up analog, stick with the TDMA. Or go with the Ericsson T62u and know that switching from GSM to TDMA will result in a dropped call unfortunately...

Thanks. The Ericsson T62u doesn't seem to be listed on the ATTWS website any longer, at least that I can find. Is there a replacement or other phone with GSM/TDMA/AMPS?

As far as I know, no there isn't. And they constantly switch out the phones that are offered through the web, a store or just a search for the t62u will yield a picture or some prices I believe.
