As I heard it, tmob has 3 out of 15 cingular circuits in socal. When cingular subscribers start to max out the circuits, tmobile gets ratcheted down to those 3 circuits (sort of like guaranteed bandwidth.) Which explains tmobile's spotty and unpredictable service in SoCal.
Tmobile is supposed to be building out their own system. But I haven't heard much on this lately.
I tolerate tmobile because the sidekick is mostly transactional - I send an email and it gets there whenever. Interactive web browsing and AIM chatting is a little spotty. I wouldn't rely on it for voice, yet.

Anyone have T-Mobile as a cell phone service provider?
I use Cingular and love it, but being faced with this: http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/000662.php
a T610 for FREE and getting paid $50 to use T-mobile I'm really thinking about it. last I heard the service blew goats, which if that is still the case I might pass because a phone is no good to me if I can't get a connection, but... if things have changed and they got their rears in gear.... i might be a T610 owning mofo.
