This is the second time with T-mobile for me. The first time the experience wasn't all that great. It's wonderful if you do any global stuff. During that time I was traveling to Germany and Korea, so it was very nice to have a phone that was global. But for my main line, it just wasn't good enough, so I got rid of it and kept my Verizon line. However, Verizon asserting its attitude toward us plebeans and thinking that all my money was theirs was a step too far for me. So trying T-mobile again here in San Diego and frequented places in Nevada and Utah have been great experiences. My sustained data rates on T-mobile were actually higher than my Verizon phone. So am I happy with T-mobile today? Absolutely. Am I happy that I'm also paying 1/2 the price? You betcha! Verizon can kiss my butt. Also, poetic justice for pissing me off Verizon: Me, Girlfriend, Girly's daughter, Girly's parents (3 phones), My sister, My parents (2x), 3 friends have left the Red Death Star. We done hit the exhaust port and are waiting for the explosion!
