Verizon is really good in the San Gabriel Valley as a whole but it is somewhat weak in parts of San Marino and Alhambra. However, with the right phone signal it's actually good there. I've done some testing along Huntington, California, and small side streets, and the Motorola E815 seems to hold crystal clear calls with anywhere from 2-4 signal bars throughout the area. However some other brands of phone show no service in several spots along California. Everyone I know in that area seems to stick with Cingular or T-Mobile, but with the right phone, Verizon seems to be a possible choice as well. If you give Verizon a shot in this area especially, be sure to do thorough testing during your trial period. The Motorola phones seem to pull in a stronger signal than other brands. I'd highly recommend the V325i or V3m.
