Voicestream just recently (in the last 2 weeks) started officially selling
the T68m:

I have a T39m that was simmed-up by Voicestream. You can get 9600bps
circuit-switched GSM data that just uses your normal voice minutes. The
GPRS (56k) service sounds cool, but it's waaaay too expensive for my tastes
right now. We can only hope they follow Verizon's 144k that just "uses your
minutes" service.
I use it with a 3Com Bluetooth PC Card, and it comes in handy in Airports
(that don't have wifi), meetings, and other miscellaneous locations.

Subject: [BAWUG] T-Mobile (the cellular company)
T-Mobile (Deutsche Telekom) has made its west coast attack on Market St
in San Francisco recently. I briefly poked into the shop (previously a
computer shop that sold Ricochet modems) today, to find some attractive
pricing plans. 1000 "whenever wherever minutes" along with unlimited
weekend minutes for $39.99 (which includes voicemail, caller id and the
usual digital features). What scared me was $2/Megabyte for data, ack!
They also don't appear to sell the sexy Sony Ericsson T68i, but they
will SIM them up (for unlocked versions bought on eBay, etc). Also the
coverage map looks a bit spotty. Has anyone used their service yet?
How's the Bay Area signal?
P.S. My secret plot is to get a trimode phone, thus worldwide phone
number, only to charge those outrageous international roaming rates to
my employer. Woo, more Europe and Asia vacations here I come!
P.P.S. Oops, that backfired, need to temporally un-subscribe boss from
the list first.
