I'm planning on getting one of these FreeRunner phones.
As far as I can tell, the two main networks around here are AT&T and T-Mobile.
However, there are some resellers if you'd prefer to get your customer support 
from another company.
I'm planning on going with pre-paid, and for that purpose 
http://www.prepaidgsm.net/ looks like a good source of information.  Almost 
any of the providers listed there should be compatible with the FreeRunner 
(Some of the providers say something about requiring "Cingular-approved", 
which the FreeRunner is not -- I'm not sure if/how that's enforced)

P.S. Another website that is good is http://www.cellguru.net/prepaid_compare.ht
m but it mixes in GSM providers (which should work with the FreeRunner) with 
other types (CDMA and iDen, which don't work with the FreeRunner)
