Interesting. My biggest gripe with the T68i has been, aside from having a molasses slow interface, the fact that it had a known problem in curbing signal strength - in other words, I got far less reception that I should have. The moment I switched phones, even with the same carrier (AT&T, at the time), my signal strength doubled. Slow interface + lack of signal = bad phone to me. As you said, YMMV. > I like the feature set of the 3650, but the silly keypad is enough to keep > me from ever considering it as an option. Which is sad, and an odd choice on the part of Nokia. I hear their next generation model will be a 3650 in a different case, i.e. Normal keypad, so I would be interested in that. Yes, the quirky keypad is weird at first. In my case, the larger display, and memory card have won me over. Size was not as much of a factor with me. I prefer a phone that's more 'phone sized' :-) > I have friends who love T-Mobile -- that's one of the reasons I signed up > with them. However, I'm in the SF Bay Area.

I can understand different regions having different quality of coverage, but customer service is national and should be constant. I've had nothing but positive experiences with them, aside from their web-page being behind the times. There's been one instance where I changed my plan, and a month later, it still hadn't been changed, but the customer service guy acknowledged that, and provided me with a retroactive credit, and confirmation. Either way, you're right, these things differ from region to region, and customer to customer. The big thing to me is the fact that I get unlimited internet, and text messaging actually works (unlike AT&T which just claims it does) Harry -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
