I've been a customer since it was Voicestream. I had work-supplied phones for a couple years in there that were AT&T (TDMA and GPRS), and it was just horrible. I'm not really sure *what* the phone runs actually. I sort of don't care. It works for what I need it to do. My old Nokias could run any third party Apps I installed on them, but after a while, it just kind of rotted out (like windows). My 6620 started crashing to white screens a while back, and although I was told by everyone at hacknight to send it to some unlock place in TX, I noticed Ken was actually *happy* with his phone, it had a keyboard, and it worked for what he wanted it to. So I got one. I guess I was wrong about the software though. I had to buy tetris. T-Mobile service in Seattle is pretty good. I’ve been a customer since it was Voicestream.
