Well, the 3G(S) additional $10 makes no sense.

Might just be me, but I looked over my previous bills from my 1st Gen
to my 3 GS - data is very much the same at ~70MB/month.

Wish I had my old T-Mobile bills around, love to see what my HTC
Wizard running WinMo was like...

Speed isn't an issue to me.

Just hate that if I am out and about and need to do something in an
emergency I either need to cary around my HTC Wizard and move the SIM
card so I can power up the MBP for the work, or deal with some of the
issues of iPhone + iSSH or Wyse (RDP) applications.
