AT&T
Why I dumped AT&T, sold my iPhone 4 and got Droid X with Verizon
Service is key when you decide if you will keep certain vendor. Absence of service, or it being spotty (here of course we talk about cellphone service) is frustrating. Furthermore frustration grows when you are in the middle of important phone call and your phone suddenly goes "ding-ding" and shows "Call Failed" message. This is not something you can tolerate when paying $200 for two lines of service.

iPhone 4 pre-orders, Apple game and T-Mobile availability
This changes everything. Yet again.
Lines to get the phone, just like a year and two years ago. Out of stock stores. Media hype and hysteria. Let's forget about all this for a moment and concentrate on blurry things which starting to emerge in this picture.

Oh, and if all of the below fails : another thing to consider - is MiFi router by Virgin Mobile. $149.00 for the device itself and $40 for the unlimited data plan.
Update: As of March 2010 the web browsing is not working, email access however does.
Update 2: Added alternative scenario of hacking. Let me know if it will work for you.
And here is how:
