My 14-day return period with the T-Mobile MDA is just about up. I’m grudgingly going to keep it… I’d rather use the MDA as a data-only device but T-Mobile recently jacked their unlimited data-only plan from $30 to $50, and for my usage patterns I’m better off spending $10 more to bundle their cheapest voice […]

Incomprehensible
29May05Choosing the right cellular plan is incredibly hard.
Right now I’m paying $57.12 per month for my cellular service. I have been planning to buy a Blackberry 7290 from T-Mobile on their stand-alone plan for $30 per month, which would push me over $90 per month with taxes and “fees”. That’s too much.
So I started looking […]
A630 Goes Buh-Bye
10Jan05Tomorrow I’ll be contacting T-Mobile and Amazon to cancel my account and return the Motorola A630. I could live with the ways that Motorola fouled up the phone but T-Mobile just keeps making it worse. First was the T-Zones port blocking. Then there were the problems getting e-mail provisioning to work. And the piss-poor web […]
Dumping
27Dec04I didn’t buy the LCD television I wanted for Christmas because I kept reading that prices will decline after the holidays.
Mom is loving her new iBook, but the first words out of her mouth were Is it IBM compatible? Hell no, and that was a selling point! It’s no longer safe for ordinary users to […]
A630 Arrives
21Dec04My Motorola A630 order arrived yesterday, around four weeks after I ordered it.
The good: It’s small and quite handsome. Battery life seems impressive. I’ve had it off the charger for about 30 hours, Bluetooth on, about 90 minutes talking (around 30 minutes on my Bluetooth headset and 30 on speakerphone), probably two hours of “playing”, […]
A630 Will Soon Be Mine
20Nov04T-mobile has launched the Motorola A630 for $300, no rebates, and Amazon is listing it again for $100 after a $200 rebate but the ship time still says 4-6 weeks.
Auf wiedersehen, CingulAT&T.
PS: The T-Zones Overview says the difference between T-Zones and T-Zones Pro is unlimited access to corporate e-mail. How does that translate into a […]
SmartPhone 2003 for MPx-200
09Jul04MSMobiles has a German SmartPhone 2003 ROM and Multi-Language Update (including American) for the MPx-200. As much as I want SP2003, I’m not brave enough to try it until someone posts instructions for extracting the original SP2002 ROM.
On a not-exactly-related note, I am quite disappointed that upcoming SmartPhones from Motorola will not be using a […]
Nasty AT&T Surprise
02Jul04AT&T Wireless hit me with an unpleasant surprise this month — a $268.68 cell phone bill, compliments of roaming and long distance charges of $174.53 plus $46.13 worth of “Taxes, Surcharges, and Regulatory Fees.” My normal bill is under $60. A long phone call to my best friend in Texas racked up a $120 charge […]
