[BTM] T610 vs T616

[Craig Butler]

T616 for AT&T and Cingular, I believe.  T610 for T-Mobile.

As a modem (9600 baud), you can just use the phone.  For data service 
(maybe 40,000 baud) you need to sign up for an additional service 
(mLife on AT&T or T-Zones on T-Mobile).

T-Zones is free for the first month, then $2.99 a month for a meg or 
$9.99 for unlimited.

The T610 is a nice phone, but if you can get your hands on a T39 that's 
a really nice phone too...or a P800....or a P900...or a....you get the 
idea.  I'm sure a T610 is fine.  I just like the T39 because it gets 
pretty good reception with the external reception.  Also, there are 
tons of R520s on ebay...another nice Bluetooth GPRS phone that works 
with Macs.
