I've been a BlackBerry fan but what frustrates me right now is that T-Mobile fell way behind. RIM came out with the BlackBerry Bold for AT&T customers, and we don't get it. Supposedly we will get a similar model, blending the Curve and the Bold in March 2009, we'll see. Then RIM comes out with the BlackBerry Storm but it's a Verizon exclusive.  That means T-Mobile only offers the Curve which came out in September 2007, and neither of the newer models. Bummer. T-Mobile seems to have bet the farm on the Google phone, i.e. the HTC G1, running the Android operating system. The catch is no Enterprise E-mail, so no go for me at work, which stinks! I was also disappointed with the GPS - no voice commands for navigating, pretty lame given how good Google Maps is, and they'd even have traffic info at their disposal. Still, for non-corporate e-mail, the G1 phone may be worth considering: * touch screen like the iPhone, only slightly smaller * adds a full 5-line keyboard, very nice * still a good small size * also has a track ball * Google and YouTube works great * it's 3G I would probably get one if they added Enterpsrise E-mail. Dumb omission. The iPhone is great but AT&T coverage near me is poor. At least their 3G network is good. Also I think is has no Bluetooth, at least Consumer Reports said that.

Replying to: ateixeira (Dec 02, 2008 1:22 pm) The Storm is a lame attempt to compete with the IPhone, and this is coming from someone who has SWORN by BB for a long time (like since the B&W BB). With that said, I'm not giving up my ever reliable VZ yet. Juice, as for T-mobile, it's a second rate, lower cost wireless carrier, that's why they don't get the good stuff or the better networks. T-mobile here in NY/NNJ has the worst service ever. -mike Subaru Guru and Track Instructor

Replying to: lucien2 (Dec 02, 2008 11:06 am) You will DEFINITELY want to donate some money toward the 48hrs of Tristate http://48hrs.info because Andrewtech just gave us a $250 gift certificate for Labor to raffle off in our raffle. For every $10 donated you will get a chance to win! Currently we are sitting at about $8,000 in prizes!  -mike Subaru Guru and Track Instructor
