If you decide to switch to Sprint... send me a private message via the forums section of sprintusers.com (same username as here) - I'll hook you up with a deal will augment your 'message' back to Verizon!;-)
I stand nothing to gain, I'm not even looking for a referral!! I just know what a PAIN this stuff is and am willing to help by offering my knowledge. How's $110/mo for 2 lines unlimited: internet, texts, calls to ANY mobile # sound? Phones are extra.;-)
While I don't have an 'internet based' phone like the aforementioned (I'll add the Pre & HTC to the list) - I do have a Palm Treo... I can do whatever I want on the internet at no extra charge - including 'tethering'. Now - I can upgrade my $30/mo plan to $60/mo and use an 'internet based' phone as well.
My point here is that Verizon has extensive 3G coverage ONLY because it has a deal to USE Sprint's 3G network! I have "Verizon's Coverage" without Verizon's prices - on Sprint.
I second this COMPLETELY... Both my parents, my sister, my Father-in-Law (a biggie!!!) and Sister-in-law ALL went Mac and after a minor break-in period - everything is QUIET!:-)
My school - where I work full-time in IT Support - does not "support" Linux on the "desktop" (laptop/desktop). Our datacenter is CHOCK FULL of Linux servers & boxes. If you know WHO to call, directly (not via help desk) then they would likely try to walk you through it...

Marginally on topic - but I can SERIOUSLY relate!
