Good points all around. Myself, I'm preparing to make a final purchasing decision for a smart phone. I'll probably make it on Tuesday, if not a little later than that.

The iPhone currently has my bid, due to its overwhelming industry adoption and support. The T-Mobile G1 is a close second. I'll also peek at the Palm Pre just for variety, though I probably won't go with it.

I'm not dancing for joy to become an AT&T customer. But honestly, what American service IS worthwhile? Verizon has good coverage and customer support, but their phones do not meet my needs well (as I do not like the Blackberry type phones) and I hate how they feature-lock their phones. AT&T and--- blargh, that's all for now.
