Nokia N-Gage or Blackberry or Sony Ericsson Z500a

[lonewolf]

Its time to say goodbye to T-Mobile. Its not enough if they have only an excellent customer support. The signal quality has to be at least above average. T-Mobile has a crappy signal in my apartment in Maryland and my office in Washington, DC.



I plan to buy or get one of those free Nokia N-Gage, Blackberry or Sony Ericsson Z500a phones. Basically I need excellent WAP support and Bluetooth. Anyone has input on any of these phones?



By the way, I've had great fun with my current Sony Ericsson T610. One of my favourite projects was get it to remote control XMMS app (Winamp equivalent) installed on my notebook from my phone. My phone displays the name and other details of the current MP3 playing on my computer. I'll be putting it up as a tutorial later, so Linux enthusiasts can check it out when its done.

I have never been more happier w/ T-Mobile.They added a couple of new towers in my area,so I am loving it.And everything else in my region sucks save for Cingular.

As your a Sony person,I suggest you go w/ sony.

Yes. T-Mobile is a service provider in the US. The equivalent in European countries is T-Online.

Guess what! My company in Washington DC is half a mile away from the head office of T-Mobile.. and I don't get a signal when I'm *inside* my office. One of my colleauges, who used to have T-Mobile, had the same problem. The T-Mobile guys came over to the office to "inspect" the buildings and the buildings that were "between" our office and the T-Mobile office (and tower). They "concluded" that the buildings were made of material that blocked their signal. Well, my friend switched to Cingular in a few days, and I'm probably going to switch to Cingular too.. maybe tomorrow.
