No argument from me.

I'd buy one for M if it weren't tied to AT&T.

The really sad thing is that AT&T Bell Labs did much of the ground breaking for the cellular services we use today. One of my grad profs (Dr. Leonard Cimini http://www.ece.udel.edu/~cimini/documents/cv.pdf ) worked for Bell Labs on some of the comms theory. However, AT&T's service in and around proNJ is some of the worst.

Oh I do, I do. I have downloaded over 20GB of data on that crappy network in about 6 months. For me it works well enough and no it is not perfect. I suppose we will see next year if Verizon can do better.

This is a fact I've heard from a friend of mine that has to drive through your neck of the woods and can't hold a call on the TPKE. I find it incredibly ironic that AT&T can't make their wireless network function in NJ itself.

However due the Cingular legacy and probably more due to the geography where I live, my service is decent.
