    Given that Verizion and Sprint both offer unlimited 3G for $99/month... at 80K measured speeds (144K burst).... it seems foolish to use these CDPD services.

    GSM/GPRS isn't the only choice. Verizion has good coverage now, Sprint's is almost everywhere.

    When the heck are they going to comeup with cell-phone modules for the Zaurus?
    I'm getting tired of carrying both and a "unification" is past due.

    enough ranting...later!
