You might want to add another option: "On a carrier other than AT&T"

The new HTC Passion/Dragon Android on Verizon

With Push added to Gmail, you don't need MobileMe. Google will sync contacts, calendar, and mail, all with Push

It is available, and it works ! Official Google Mobile Blog: Google Sync: Now with push Gmail support

Gpush is now active in the App store. Seems to work pretty well

If you get any such text, just put your phone in airplane mode.

In a minute, as well. Problem is, Verizon is totally married to "Get It Now", as well as having a habit of crippling bluetooth. I doubt that they (Verizon) would allow Apple to run the App store as it currently exists. Even though Verizon has the best network, they are total Nazis when it...

Everyone that I know who has an iPhone, hates AT&T's coverage. I just spoke with my son in NYC. He previously had the original 2g iPhone, and when the 3gs came out, I bought him one to replace his aging 2g. He called me to complain that he had no coverage in his office, whereas, his 2g was...

I have the same problem here in Baltimore. From everything that I've read, I'm convinced that AT&T has oversold their network. I've been told that if one is on a call, and another user either initiates a new call, or enters your serving cell while on a call, if that cell is at capacity, it...

I use Google for push Calendar, & push contacts, Mobile Me for e-mail. As soon as Google has push for Gmail, I'll ditch Mobile Me, which is not the most reliable. There is a third party push solution for Gmail, for $25/yr. It is called NuevaSync

My new 3GS battery seems to be as good as my 3G. I have push email, contacts, calendar on, as well as bluetooth and WiFi on. Maybe because the 3GS shows the battery percentage, unlike the 3G, our perception of actual battery charge level is enhanced on the 3G.

I spilled a soft drink on my 3G on Friday, rendering the ear speaker unusable. I made an online appointment at the Apple Store in Towson, Md. for Saturday (06/27) at noon. Got there at 11:45 and there was a line outside. I told the guy at the door that I had an appointment, so he let me in...

Yes, even cracked screens. Each accidental damage rider has a 30 day waiting period, before you are eligible to make a damage claim.

The best that I've found is Square Trade. They are owned by E-Bay. They pay replacement cost (out of contract cost), with no deductible. The only thing not covered is loss or theft. Mine is insured for $600, which is what it would cost to replace. Do a Google search for "Square Trade...

I doubt it. My belief is that the lousy reception is mostly due to AT&T's lousy network.
