Also for the tip on Tom-Tom for the Treo – I had not heard about that and maybe this will make me like it better. My favorite application is Google maps, which really blew me away and has helped me find my way a few times.

About three years ago, we visited my sister & family in Bandon, OR. My home-town carrier (Centennial Wireless) had ‘agreements’ with several major carriers, including AT&T/Cingular. During our visit, we drove from SFO to Bandon and return. The ONLY sporadic service we encountered was when we wove through the Trinity Range in N. Cal. on our way from I-5 over to 101. The rest of the time we had solid reception, including standing on the beach at Bandon. As I recall, the provider there was identifying as Edge, although I understand that AT&T is now using this name for special wireless data services.
I share your disgust with Sprint. We had Sprint here in Angola, IN with sporadic service. It took them almost 10 years to finally add tower coverage. What competitive advantage Sprint has had (excellent network technology, early market presence, etc.) they’ve managed to flush down the tubes. Maybe if they’d listen to their customers??
Re the 650. I just acquired one, and I love it. I will soon be loading Tom-Tom software to prepare the 650 for GPS duties.(I have a 1G memory stick.)
Good luck with your search for a better provider!
