I live in area that gets excellent 3G coverage from T-Mobile everywhere I go so I do pay for what I want which is about half of what I would have to pay for comparable service from Verizon.

I too had three lines on contract with TMobile. I am porting two over and doing the ETF with all of them. The phone and service is more important to me. I don't mind paying for what I want and get.

You did an excellent job with your post. I to left Tmobile for the Droid and the better coverage. I didn't have 3G service in my house with TMobile but with Verizon I do. The phone is wonderful. It's what consumers want for the money. I did a two year contract and im porting over my other number Friday from Tmobile. Bye Tmobile hello Verizon.

Blaine, thanks for the comment.. I got my Droid yesterday and I love it. With Tmobile, I can't get 3G in my home but with Verizon I do. You pay for what you want and get and I want 3G everywhere not just in some spots and places. Go try the phone out and tell me what you think about it yourself.

I think the Droid is one ugly phone the only thing it could possibly have going for it is the snapdragon processor. This Droid hype shows how easy it is to sway the masses with a few well placed comments released by the right ppl at just the right time. But it is an Android phone so I can't hate it.

I have had an opportunity to have a hands on with the device, and I will say that it is packing some serious hardware under the hood; however, I still find the design of the device to be less than impressive. I find the Nokia N900 to be a much more sleek device, which I’m currently waiting for to arrive in the mail once it officially ships.

I think his point was… don’t throw rocks in a glass house. Could be wrong though.

@ Maximus: Please point out for me anywhere in my post that I stated that the G1, or anywhere else that I have posted on this site for that matter, is “complete hotness”?

I left Sprint for -T-mobile just for the G1. Now all of the good Android phone are everywhere else but T-Mobile. I might be leaving soon since none of the great Android phones coming out this year are @ T-Mobile

@Blaine
Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. So you think the G1 is the complete hotness? I’ll give it to Motorola for the effort put into the phone. They did T-Mobile some justice in the way the Cliq looks as well, unfortunately it lacks in being anything different than the G1 or myTouch internally. Can you please give me an example of an Android phone on T-Mobile that comes close to competing with the Droid. I’m a bit tired you naysayers talking crap about the iPhone or the Droid or the Pre – all premier phone on other carriers when the T-Mo has to offer are currently the Cliq (the prettier little sister of the G1).

The Droid one of the heaviest phones I’ve own since owning a Storm(unlocked). The build quality in excellent and the phone has a very solid feel in the hand. Not like all the cheap plastic Android mockups T-Mobile has force feed its customers. Thank God for the Cliq in some respects. The phone is the fastest Android phone to date since it sports a Cortex A8 processor. Erm, what’s the G1, myTouch and Cliq running?

As I’ve stated a number of times already the only downside about the phone is the keyboard. The direction pad on the right side is pointless. It’s the same as I feel about the one on the Cliq. I find absolutely no immediate need for it and I haven’t used it since buying the Droid Friday night.

Contrary to what some may think that I’m bias now that I’ve switched to Verizon I assure you that my hope is T-Mobile will turn things around much sooner than later. I’ve supported the company with my hard earned cash for well over 6 years and I’m become extremely weary of waiting around for change…so I changed. I was more out of a necessity to get things I wanted to accentuate my personal and professional lifestyle and many times that involved spending a bit more to get more. T-Mobile has blown a grand opportunity with the Project Dark/Even More marketing. Most of the existing customers would spend more for switching plans and continue to get less in phone selections.

If you want to continue waiting I’m happy for you. I prefer to stand on the sideline for now and watch them succeed or fail. Hopefully not the latter.
