Why I might end up getting an iPhone 3G after-all

In yesterdays chaos having a good information source at my fingertips could have been a help in giving me some options. Unfortunately I had my Nokia N73 on T-Mobile.

Between getting "No network" messages (despite the phone claiming to have a full 3G signal) and the craptacular browser on the N73 I was able to get nowhere at all.

Whatever mobile gateway T-Mobile uses is utterly shit. Mobile gateway errors have plagued my entire year of service with them.

This combined with the small screen, unfriendly browser, and ridicuolous pointing, clicking, and hapless text entry make it a most frustrating device to use.

Pre-iPhone you could live with that because you knew there was nothing better (Windows mobile? Please be serious...) but it's a whole different deal to live with it now.

I still wish there was a more expensive 12 month contract option or pay&go but with my contract coming up on August 3rd I am wavering again.
