Javier and Karla have the droid. I still have the original alias. And now you're IN so now I can text and call u w/o using my minutes. Out here Metro PCS is beginning to expand fairly rapidly and I like their model better - you pay the full cost of any phone you buy, sign no contract, and receive unlimited talk text and web for $40 a month total (that price includes all fees and taxes). No smartphones available as of the last time I checked and their coverage area is pretty small, but they are expanding their coverage area and I think they stand a chance at becoming a big player in the future. I guess they are going from 2g straight to 4g and smartphones are rolling out soon, if not already. yeah, I dig the slide out keyboard. Javier and Karla have the droid.

I've been anxious to play around on the mytouch since it runs a slightly different OS than the standard Android, but haven't gotten a chance to yet. I think AT&T is grasping at straws lately, the latest commercial I've seen is (recently-added) celebrity spokesman Luke Wilson include answering a question for a friend on a "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" type gameshow where he looks up the answer on his smartphone, demonstrating the useful ability to get data and voice at once. I just shook my head thinking "is that the best they can do?" And speaking of AT&T, have they rolled out (legit) tethering for iPhone yet, or have they still not finished their "infrastructure upgrades"? Cause I'm writing this while tethered on my Droid, and downloading [a movie] at 200+k. Thanks for the comment.

I have a mytouch and absolutely love it! I've noticed between different people's service that ATT lies a lot about their service and will literally say anything to win customers. While I have t-mo right now and they're decent I would much rather be back with verizon or sprint. I'm just making the rounds on the carriers but I refuse to even go to ATT. Awesome article.
