I was with T-Mobile from 2003-2009 and have been with AT&T since, and the biggest reasons I gave in to switching over were the iPhone, T-Mobile's spotty coverage and the fact that a large portion of my friends(and girlfriend) were on AT&T. I had a great deal while on T-Mobile and it was very hard to quit them. Personally, I believe that competition equals innovation which is better for consumers, and we need more of it. The situation for mobile service is quite sad here in the States with the collusion of the big two(not counting T-Mobile and Sprint, I suppose) on pricing and such, and having AT&T get even bigger wouldn't help the situation.
