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.
Update: Now that Verizon is in the iPhone game, all the below makes sense however not for T-Mobile but Verizon.
Hacking T-Mobile Pay As You Go to use with the iPhone
Say you have your friend/colleague coming over from outside the US with his fancy iPhone and looking to use all the email and web while in the states, not paying a lot for all that. AT&T is sure here to help, however the price is way too high. T-Mobile, on the other hand does not have the 3G supported by the iPhone 3G and 3GS, but you can have that unlimited data access your friend's iPhone is soon looking forward to.
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:
