Re: [BLUG] LiMo Phones, Plans

I use Verizon, and have found the coverage weak in some places, but I
rarely have no signal at all. I have not tried their data plan, so I
don't know how good they would be for your needs. My girlfriend has a
data plan with AT&T, and she finds it good enough to regularly use Opera
on her phone.

I plan to get a Nokia n810, and use the internet through my phone via
bluetooth. I'm not willing to use a Blackberry form-factor keyboard with
ssh. Also, the n810 is so darned cool!
