[QUOTE="3catcircus, post: 3217670, member: 16077"] If you willing and able to afford it, I'd recommend T-Mobile and their SDA phone. 1. T-Mobile is GSM (as is Cingular), so if you go overseas, your (given the right phone) likely able to use it anywhere except S. Korea and Japan. 2. I've never had any problems with T-Mobile customer service, unlike Verizon where there tends to be a long line out the door waiting to see a technician. Don't know about Cingular. 3. The SDA is bluetooth and WiFi capable, has a camera (still and video), and can be used as a PDA/calendar since it runs Windows Mobile and can be synched with your computer. It'll play mp3's, other audio, video, etc. 4. Since it is WiFi capable, as long as you don't need always-on connectivity (or if you are running a WiFi network at home), you don't even need to use T-Mobile's internet and email services to check your email. I've got mine setup to access my home network so I can check email from my living room Lazy-boy chair. Out and about, as long as there is an open hotspot, I can check it there too. Likewise, I can surf the net as well. YMMV, but until someone comes out with a phone that I can use *anywwhere* in the world (quad-band GSM, S. Korean WCDMA and Japan PCS), I'll stick with T-Mobile. In fact I dumped Verizon mid-contract for T-Mobile because Verizon had rotten customer service. There are plenty of other options as well - Boost, Amp'ed and any of a number of other pre-pay or pay-as-you-use services as well. [/QUOTE]
