Obviously, the advertising agency for the Droid is not the same one who thought up "there's a map for that." Droid Does what? Dallas? The marketing for the Droid device is so inferior to the device itself, it's almost sad. Instead, they have some inane "Droid Does" garbage. "Motorola Droid by Verizon: the iPhone killer." This was the best marketing for the Droid that there ever could have been. Then, about a month ago, a friend of mine asked me "Have you seen that new phone out by Motorola? It's supposed to be an iPhone killer." T-Mobile has 3G coverage, but not with a phone that met those requirements. My wish list also included an SSH client so I could access servers on the go, decent camera, and fast 3G phone coverage.

Most notably, I needed good support for MS Exchange (ActiveSync), and a nimble phone. Eventually, I had to give that up to get 3G, and had to pay retail price for unlimited internet.īut, after 11 years, my requirements changed. Then in the early 2000's, I got unlimited internet (because I was in a test market) for $2.99 / month. Mostly because I had a plan from 1998, that was unbeatable. Significantly cheaper than AT&T and Verizon. I frequently described T-Mobile as the KMart of the cell phone world. Then they were bought by T-Mobile, and I became a de facto T-Mobile customer.

Actually, I was originally a PowerTel customer. For 11 years, I had been a T-Mobile customer.
