Well since I could find very little interest in an orange county wide area wireless network :(, I'm going to stick with my go-anywhere cellular internet connection. I'm currently using Verizons Express Network which I am very pleased with; the latest firmware upgrade to my Motorola T720 allows me to get roughly 100kb/s up and down on average and I have yet to be in an area around OC with out service. The problem is that they are trying to force me in to another contract if I change plans and since number portability is now mature and I have a Motorola v60 Tri-mode phone, I have been looking at the other providers. Does anyone have any opinions or first hand experience on the data services available with T-mobile, Cingular/AT&T and/or Sprint? I've done some searching on Google groups and it seems GPRS is somewhat lacking with a maximum throughput of 45kb/s and in some areas like San Francisco you are lucky to get 9600bps. What's it like in OC? Also, as far as plans go, unless I'm mistaken T-mobile seems to have the best deal for data at $20/mo giving you unlimited usage.
Thanks in advance for any feedback, David Cook.
