Honestly I don't really care about 3G. I would much prefer to be able to drive from work to my house (13 miles) without losing a call 3 or 4 times.
Phone companies should spend less time with data services and make voice work. Consumer reports has an article on Cellular this month. They say that 2% of all calls on a cell phone drop in the first 2 minutes.
That is unacceptable.

Speaking of Cheap providers... does anybody know of any that don't use a phone land line? I've thought about using my cell phone but I don't get the best reception in my home office area.
Pacbell has REALLY been pissing me off lately. I no longer wish to deal with their "we're a monopoly so we can treat you as badly as your dollar will pay for," attitude problem.
Please hurry. I really want to watch the Kylie Provacatuer Lingerie ad again!! hehe.
