Oh please! I've used at least 3 different BB and 5 different PPCs over the years. You surely must be forgetting the most important limitation of the PPC platform--stability. It's crap. Throw a phone into the PPC OS and I hope you never need it in an emergency. Oh yeah, and if you want always on email on a PPC you'll have to be prepared to charge your battery every 12 hours. Blackberry? Gone as long as 11 days before I voluntarily recharged. Let's at least be honest and fair here. RIM has produced an excellent product--otherwise NTP would be dumpster diving outside the PTO for someone else to extort.
I'd be surprised if Starbucks allowed this to play on their Tmobile operated network. If this really is the first step in the death of the cell phone service as we know it, I'm sure TM will put pressure on Starbucks to protect their hotspots for as long as they can (3 days till some enterprising hacker figures out how to crack the network).
That's classic! I'm not getting Verizon and the equipment thing. As a customer, I've managed to convince myself that it has to do with some sort of commitment to making sure nothing bogus is sold by their company. On the other hand (and as a simultaneous TMobile customer), I scratch my head and ask why I can't get as clear a signal on TMobile so I can drop these luddites at Verizon.

Too bad the h6315 doesn't work. Biggest pile of crap I've ever owned--and I've owned a lot of crap.
