Re: T-Mobile is good said by bigunk:I was with VZW for what ended up to be 15 years. Starting back in the PacTel Mobile Access days, through AirTouch, then VZW. Problem with VZW is they started acting like they were entitled to my business and didn;t have to put forth any effort to keep it. I started out with Bell Atlantic Mobile. They were good at first. Then they switched to Verizon and I kept them for a while. During this time, my girlfriend at the time got a Sprint Spectrum phone. They were idiots to deal with and they finally ditched that whole service.
New girlfriend also had Verizon and we decided to go on one account to save money. When we tried to do the new every 2, they didn't tell us that only the phone on the $39.95 plan (or higher) was eligible. So I decided to let my girlfriend have the newer phone. Nope, because someone at Verizon made her number the secondary and mine the primary and the ONLY way to change it was to sign both of us up for 2 year contracts and pay extra. When I said we only have 6 more months on the contract, they told me it was my prerogative to switch to another carrier...which we did. They called continuously for 2 weeks trying to get us back but refused to acknowledge they made a mistake or fix it.
Went with Nextel and they were great to deal with...until Sprint took them over and gave us monthly sales calls on the cell phones.
Went with T-Mobile and started off with Sidekick 3 phones and now have the G1s. They are always great to deal with and, so far, coverage is good.
Verizon, in my opinion, has this attitude that their network is better so you have no choice but to take their phones and their service otherwise, no one will hear you.  |

USA | My sentiments exactly. What do you think of the G1? I find it intruiging, but I need to sync with Outlook, Exchange, etc. Once they get that going, I'll give it a second look. |

I like it. They are having an issue right now with multiple programs using your location and slowing the system down. I got rid of LOOPT and that took a large load off.
I was looking for it to sync with Exchange and Outlook but have only been giving it back burner look see.
The newer MyTouch is what I want to play with. |

How's your T-Mobile 3G coverage in your part of Santa Clarita... I know it just went live recently.

There are apps for the G1 that can add outlook/exchange support. they cost money but the developers have to get paid somehow.
but out of the box its not there...... yet.
overall I love the G1. I just wish that I would've been able to wait for the MyTouch3g. The g1 doesn't have much internal storage for apps so your pretty limited with that. i think its something like 72mb. You can use an SD card for more app storage if your into rooting it and getting a custom firmware. I don't suggest that because then it will become a bit more unstable.
Overall its a great phone if your patient to wait for apps to support what you need it to do. Android is young, very young compared to iPhone or BlackBerry.
I think its grown a lot in the short time that it has been around. it will be coming up on its first birthday in November I think. |
