A co-worker of mine uses a Treo. In metrowest it seems to have good coverage, even working from my basement in Sudbury where Verizon has difficulty. It's a pretty impressive product all around (we're even adding a special app that runs on it to take advantage of our mHook.com service...). I'm not sure about its coverage in less civilized parts of the country, however. I might see if you could get it on a returnable trial basis, or even maintain your current wireless account in addition until you are confident in its coverage.

There's a couple holes inside 495. When talking to one of their sales reps a year ago (when they were still called Voicestream), the guy said that their network was all digital & perfectly fine as long as you were in Boston or on the highways near the city. That seemed a little flimsy to me, but hey... salespeople, ya know? Don't know how much, if at all, their coverage may have improved since, but as far as I can tell it has always lagged behind the other companies that do business in the region... -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] operating system, n.
