Wow! I have T-Mobile cell service, but just for talking and texting. (It's my "toy". ) Overall, connectivity is pretty good, but the signal strength varies greatly due to all the peaks and dips of the terrain here in Pennsylvania.

I'm eager to hear how that all works for you! (Plus, I'm gonna have to read up on it on the 'net. I never knew there were so many options. )

I have dealt with T-Mobile for years and am giving up on them when my contract expires. Terrible customer service, poor signal in many areas I either work in or travel through. Example, I have NO SIGNAL AT ALL at BMW in Jersey. I have to use a crappy land-line in the office to make a call. My stepson had a Sidekick 2, which broke many times and they finally sent him the dash. He seems to like it. We're into T-Mobile for almost $200 a month and they treat us like dirt. Looking at Verizon Wireless when we're done with our contract.

I've had t-mobile since 2002 and never had a problem. I guess it depends on where you normally are, but I know other companys have more coverage areas. I have the sidekick3 and is very helpfull to me when looking for directions to a warehouse. I'm going to look into the Dash and see if it would work better for me.
One question panhandlepat, does the dash play videos like from youtube in the internet with the windows media mobile?
