I paid $30 a month and couldn't even watch Slingplayer because it was so sporatic and slow. Now I pay $15 a month for Sprint EV-DO and I can watch Slingplayer, play streaming audio and use PIE at the same time. And my bill is about $10 a month more for an otherwise comparable setup to that which I had at T-Mobile. I also got a nice Treo 700wx WM phone which works great as a modem with PDANet. The downside is that I can't use it in Europe. The upside is that I didn't take my T-Mobile phone to Japan with me so when I went to Europe, I got a cheapie prepaid from Vodafone and everyone was happy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23949348.post-70399938573135487122007-07-02T19:40:00.000-04:002007-07-02T19:40:00.000-04:00The problem is that I'm not willing to pay 50 doll...The problem is that I'm not willing to pay 50 dollars for my emergency connection!ctitanichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780087839694527674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23949348.post-52389197719863971622007-07-02T19:26:00.000-04:002007-07-02T19:26:00.000-04:00T-Mobile hasn't started rolling out a 3G network y...T-Mobile hasn't started rolling out a 3G network yet. It probably will be well into 2008 before they really have any kind of significant coverage.<BR/><BR/>My advice would be to take a look at getting a USB EVDO modem from Sprint. You don't have to have a phone with them to get a modem and a data plan and the speed is really pretty spectacular. Since buying mine, I very rarely (if ever) use wi-fi hotspots (other than my home network) anymore.<BR/><BR/>Although both have similar pricing, coverage, and hardware, I'd go with Sprint over Verizon because they don't have the reputation for trying to redefine the term "unlimited" the way Verizon does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
