Cell Phones - What Do You Have?

How much is the speed difference between Wifi vs. Data plan? I use the hell out of my data plan.

WiFi is just WiFi, as in it'll connect to any unsecured wireless network around. Therefore it's the same speed (a little slower for processing time) as the network, which is usually broadband. Note I haven't tried it yet, however.

So I went into a T-Mobile store yesterday to play with the MDA. Some other people reported it as too big, however it's the EXACT same size as my BlackBerry. Some other people said it felt cheep and plasticy with the fold out keyboard, but it didn't at all, it felt downright sturdy. I can't wait to get mine over the summer. The only thing that pisses me off is the BlackBerry unlimited data plan is $20 while the plan for this is $30 :(


Meh you really don't need the plan if you live in the city with a billion wireless networks. And as for the phone, it looked cheapy online but now that I have it in my hands and have played around with it, stroked it, tongue... ahem it's a pretty firm phone.

but you have a much better chance of it working wherever you go...driving down the highway you're shit out of luck if you're hoping to be hopping from 802.11 hotspot to hotspot
