I would not put too much faith in any one reception report. I have owned the T68i (on AT&T) for just over one month. In my job, I travel around the East MA, NH, and CT areas and have been very satisfied with my coverage.
What does satisfied mean here? It means the phone has performed as I expected it to. I KNEW AT&T GSM coverage is limited before I got the phone. When I am in an area that looks like it should be covered, I can use the phone. Otherwise, I can't. I expected as much. It works at home, in the office, and at my customer's offices.
And I know the CPU is somewhat slow -- I much prefer this power efficient processer to the alternative. I can keep this phone going ~2x longer then my Nokia 8260.
After reading this article, I have one question, "Why fiber?"
Give me a new house, smartly wired with high quality cat-5, and a well designed termination closet. I'll add an 802.11[a|b|g] access point or three and its looking like a dream setup to me.
I can get an entire switched ethernet setup for a fraction of the price it will cost me to get the ATM switches and nics for this place!
Fiber has a theoretical bandwidth in the Gbps if not Tbps range. This seems like overkill for all my Quake, P0rn, and recipe archival needs.
