My wife and I have decided to drop T-Mobile and go for the new iPhone that is rumored to be coming out on June 9th. We’ve about had it with t-mobile lame reception in our neighborhood, the poor customer service, the overage charges, and the best tethered modem speeds that I can get via T-mobile is GMRS which is only good enough to do SSH over, not any web browsing or anything better. Also, my wife is always struggling with her nokia phone - they’re small and they work, but they’re also clunky and about 15 year-old technology.

For those of you who don’t know about the new iPhone that’s supposed to come out on the 9th, the hardware is about the same as the rest of the ‘next gen’ phones that’s coming out (3G, GPS, touch-screen, full web browsing, etc …) but the software is very easily upgradable, it’s very rugged, it’s not v 1.0 of the phone (I tried to hold my breath and not be an early-adopter) and it’s also an iPod. I’m going to try to get AT&T to sell me two phones (not sure if there’s a limit yet) and a family plan with data) to get the full feel of the capabilities of the phone.

I’ll post another note when we’ve got the phones.
