[BTM] T610 vs T616

[Craig Butler]

Good point Mark, and one that's certainly worth considering if you are 
trying to decide between T-Mo and AT&T.  If you have free nights and 
weekends, you can at least surf and download email "for free" at 9,600 
baud on T-Mobile but not on AT&T in CSD mode.

Here in New York (and from my sister in Houston) I hear tons of 
complaints about AT&T's operators, customer service, and network.  So, 
caveat emptor.

I've heard a lot of complaints about Cingular's operators as well.

An interesting place to read about Cingular, AT&T and T-Mobile is at:
